Wrong Number

I got in to work this morning and went through my normal routine: turned on the computer, put my lunch in the fridge, checked my emails and then checked my phone messages. Today there was only one. Some poor woman left a completely distraught message saying
"Hello, this is -----. I have called you before and I have made arrangements and I have given you the information. Now I'm tired of this game that you're playing. Come pick up the car. I don't want it. I can't afford it. I'm not making any other payment arrangements. COME pick up the car. Goodbye."

Throughout the message she's upset and by the end of the message she's in tears and I feel terrible listening to it! Obviously it's a wrong number and she didn't leave a phone number or anything so I'm unable to let her know she called the wrong company. ALthough, if I did have a way to contact her, would I? Or would it only make her feel worse to know a perfect stranger is privy to her personal woes?

I know she's only one of legions of people who are having financial problems these days but this is the first example that has landed directly in my voicemail inbox. Poor woman.

Drawing a Blank

I've been intending to update this for quite awhile now, but every time I sit down to do so, I am stumped as to what to say. The sun is shining today and it's actually supposed to be warm this weekend...can't wait for that! In hopeful, warm-weather anticipation I have plans to get pedicures with a girlfriend on Saturday. So girly!

Hopefully this bloggers block will pass soon and I'll get back in the habit of writing on a regular basis!
