Ah, The Maturity of Some People

I am sick. I have been sick since Thursday. And while I'm better today than I was on Thursday, I am worse today than I was yesterday. Anywho. I am supposed to teach Sunday School tomorrow, but I don't know how I will be feeling then, so I needed to call the other SS teacher to ask if she would be willing to cover for me. Unfortunately, somehow I never got her number, so I had to call around in order to get it. I called my sister-in-law to let her know I'd be over to the church to straighten up today, but that I was not going to be deep cleaning. Well, I also have the most ridiculous phone ever times two. See, my phone itself has a 3 that sticks, and you really have to mash it down, and sometimes, after all that mashing, the 3 loosens up too much and punches twice. I accidentally dialed this number: (770) 769-7133 because the 3 mashed twice. As soon as it happened I shut off my phone so that the call wouldn't go through. Well, I also have the magicJack. A wonderful device that allows me to have a home phone through my internet service for (you know it!) $20 a year. Since this offer is (obviously) too good to be true, the magicJack is a little quirky. One of its' quirks is that even if I hang up my phone, sometimes, the magicJack doesn't hang up. As soon as I realized this, I made a mad dash for my computer to hang up the phone before it went through. Unfortunately, I missed. The phone was answered, and I ended up hanging up on the guy. As a result, in a swell of maturity, while I was on other calls trying to call my friend and ask her if she'd trade with me (she will) I got a call from (770) 769-7133. Just so they could hang up on me. I suppose it is every bit as mature of me to publish the number (770) 769-7133 as an illustration of an immature boob, but I feel crappy, and I'm gonna do it!

I have no long distance, otherwise I would call and hang up on them for you. I once had a lady call back after I misdialed her cell phone (and got her voice mail). I apologized about 10 times but she just laughed. She just wanted to make sure I was not someone she knew. So, this guy/gal was just a jerk!

I've had the same experience as Timpani. I misdial a lot because I transpose numbers without meaning to but everyone's always been nice & one guy even asked me out. lol!!

sorry you're feeling lousy & sorry some guy had to be a jerk about something while you're feeling so lousy.

however, i do want to thank you for staying home while sick! that's an awesome thing to do. if sick folks stayed home then infectious disease wouldn't be such a problem! good for you!!

Well, you're not going to be very happy with me when I tell you what I did this afternoon DC. I just want you to know for the record that I did spray everything with Lysol before I left.
