camwynYesterday, around 4:49 PM, my celphone recorded an incoming call. No voice mail, just 'hey, you got called'. I checked; the number was in the 204 area code.
204 is Manitoba.
I know where all my Canadian friends are. And unless one of them is currently travelling, I can safely say that none of them are in Manitoba. I don't remember applying for any jobs in Manitoba, either, although with monster.com these days you never know. Experimentally, I called the number back; I got a recording saying 'you may have received a call from our organisation regarding a product or service offering, if you wish one of our representatives to contact you leave your name and phone number and we'll reach you within 1-2 business days'. Uh, no, honey. Sorry. Tell me who you are first and I'll consider it.
I suppose it was just a wrong number, or they'd have left a VM... still. I get my wrong numbers from Manitoba. PH33R MY M4D C4N4D1AN G33K-PHU.
On an unrelated note, I have just discovered that a Cadbury creme egg bought the week after Easter and stored in an office closet, wrapped in quite a lot of drugstore bag but nothing else, tastes the same on 29 June as one bought and eaten two weeks before Easter.
