Telephone tag, round 6



So, the telephone rings at 8:45 a.m. on Sunday and it’s the same computer voice.
This time, however, it says something like, “we have a very important call for you. I’ll connect you.”

And a human voice comes on, asking for Jaime mumble mumble mumble.

The accent’s thick enough that I cannot make out anything after “Jaimie,” even when he repeats himself. I say that there’s no one at this number with that name, and the caller says “thank you” and hangs up.

Four or five calls to the wrong number. Way to go, Jaimie. If I ever run into you, you’ll be walking funny for weeks.

Moving on to Tuesday, phone rings at 10 a.m. Computer voice says, “Congratulations. You’ve won a free trip to the Bahamas.”

Click.
