loaded a computer into my car to take to work, forgot to shut front door. came home @ 5p... FRONT DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN. that's a special kind of freaky. or it was till i figured out what happened. living in the country it wasnt a big deal, heat was off, screen door was shut. went and got my mom a bday present. her bday is tomorrow, we're going to graziano's in petaluma. when i got home and was tinkering with one of those cheapie $9 rerelease games (tribes2) my phone rang. someone was on the other end. talking. now this may not sound too weird but follow along. I installed a landline phone onto the existing jack several weeks ago for 911 use. i dont have a phone line, it is properly disconnected and im not paying a bill. (nor am i receiving a bill) the phone rang and someone was on the other end and it was a telemarketeer (t-e-l, e-m-a, rkter, mickey mouse!) So he did his "good evening sir i am conducting a survey blahty blah" and i interrupted him: "what number did you call?" "uh i dont know the computer randomly dials, but it will tell me at the end of the survey" "oh ok, let's do this thing then" (he asks age) "oh im sorry we've filled the quota for 23yrolds..." "ok... so can i have that phone number then?" "it only tells me if you complete the survey" fuckokbye... so i have hte ability to receive landline calls. it was pretty spooky though i didnt know what the ring sounded like (i hadnt ever heard it) and i was expecting a "you have 7 days" kind of message.
