The frequency of my posts here have declined to the point that I’m embarrassed. Perry should also feel very ashamed, as his last entry was who knows how long ago. We’ve been extremely busy with work — a huge project deadline is August 1st, and we’re starting to feel a tad more stressed with each day that we mark off the calendar. I’ve basically been ignoring my own advice — you know, the whole “don’t get so busy with the day-to-day busy work” thing. But hey…the holiday weekend is almost here.
I’m hoping that it doesn’t rain, even though that’s pretty much the forecast. I figure that the steaks will still be cooking on the grill — but the grill may be in the garage doorway rather than on the back deck. I’m also hoping that future posts will be more interesting than this one. In the meantime, let me share something that I found odd.
The business 800 number rings to my business cell phone if the caller pushes the button for my extension. At 4:30 am this morning my cell rings and I have the choice to answer the caller or send them into voice mail. I didn’t recognize the number as local or as belonging to anyone that I could possibly know (friends and relatives don’t call me through the 800 number), I let the caller leave a message. First thing this morning, (first thing for ME doesn’t start at 4:30 am) I check the message. It went something like this:
“Hello Sherry. This is (can’t understand) from Nigeria. I want him, McKain, to come to Nigeria. Call me back.”
So here’s the deal…before you call Nigeria on business, you might want to check the time zone. Did I call the gentleman back? Ummmm…I’m not tellin’.
