I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM DOING IT AGAIN
I can’t believe it, but I have to change my phone number YET again. The calls for Trevor just don’t stop. I checked on my phone and there was a consistent caller from a particular number….6 times this week so to hell with it, I called it and it was Trevor’s mom. Yup, she had been looking for him. "Sorry, I called your number by mistake". 6 F-ing times??? Not to mention all those other times she called from the hospital. Nice to know you're home though. We did actually have a nice chat about Trevor. He's 22.
And THEN, as if Trevor’s calls weren’t annoying enough, I have discovered that the local movie store, Movie Gallery has a very similar number - same numbers, two are reversed. I have only answered a couple of calls for Movie Gallery, but I have notices a bunch of calls from names I don’t recognize, and considering my number is unlisted and I have hardly given this one out yet, I didn’t understand how I could have so many. Now I know. They were all calling Movie Gallery.
Then I was talking to a friend tonight who said he actually knew Trevor and that he was a drug dealer, and lots of those calls might be for him, people looking for drugs…that explains why I saw one of my client’s names on my phone…DAMMIT!
So, tomorrow I am changing my number, AGAIN. This will be my fourth number this year. I can’t believe it. I just can’t believe it.

I'd keep it a for a few days and answer 'Movie Gallery' whenever you could. And if anyone asked for Trevor just say he'd come in to a bunch of money and had left town. That should go over really well.
You know I'm kidding, right?
What a drag! Make sure you get a number with a double in it -- like 33 or 77 or something -- but NOT with a double 4 as that's bad luck in Chinese because the word for 4 sounds like the word for death. (Like you needed a whole treastise on superstitions!)
So here's wishing you good luck on then next number -- and you call your OLD (Trevor's number) and then ask for YOU... hehehe
When I worked in a public library, I QUICKLY realized having my phone number listed in the phone book was a huge mistake. Every kid I pissed off during the day made it a point to call me in the middle of the night.
The best was the kid that called me and told me his name was Frankie Big Balls Malone. I told him I had caller ID and would be calling his mother first thing in the morning. He totally freaked out and started begging me not to call her. I didn't have a problem from the kids again ;-)
Sorry you've got to change yours - that's a HUGE pain! Cell phones don't usually have such problems - how do you feel about going wireless??
cell service is terrible here and costs an arm and a leg...not enough competition. In Ontario when I lived there, it was worth it to have.
I've got a new number now...so we'll see how that goes this time!
