Hello?
Ring....ring....
Roxanne: "Hello?"
Ron: "Hi, it's me."
Roxanne: Oh, hi.
Ron: Guess what? I got an email from Joe Blow Engineering Firm and they want me to come back to talk to them.
Roxanne: That sounds really good! I'm so excited for you.
Ron: I know. I don't think they'd be calling me back in if they weren't going to offer me the job.
Roxanne: That is so cool. We'll have to party tonight.
Ron: Well, maybe not tonight. That might jinx it. Let's wait til I go talk to them first.
Roxanne: Yeah, you're right. But we still need to party.
He has been waiting for a loooonng time to escape his current employment situation. I really, really hope this new place works out well for him. How can you go wrong working for a place that included in their help wanted ad that they have a foosball table in the office? For reals!
A few minutes later.......
Ring.....ring.....
Roxanne: "Hello?"
Unidentified caller: "Hi. (awkward pause) How are you?"
Roxanne: "I'm fine."
UC: "What number is this?"
I've always loved this question. I always want to answer with this question..."What number did you call?" But instead......
Roxanne: "This is Roxanne. Who is this?"
UC: "This is Meryl. Is this 555-6981?"
Roxanne: "No."
Meryl: "I'm sorry. Well, have a nice day anyways!"
Roxanne: "You too!"
That was the friendliest wrong caller I've ever met before. Maybe she'll call back another time so we can chat it up. :)
