phone dating and check by phone
So I started phone dating Jon from the collection agency today.
I've called him a billion times, this afternoon I asked for Jon and he's like, "I'm starting to recognize your voice, Kirsten." I now just say, "It's me." when I call and he understands. It's becoming a little fun, I must say. He has a nice voice, I wouldn't mind just calling to talk to him. It might be my ridiculous attraction to authority or maybe that I'm running on very little sleep and an empty stomach...but I kind of just want to talk to him...about things unrelated to my bill.
He started talking to me for a second about something in his life and it gave me a glimpse of him as a real person. I actually pictured him sitting there talking to me, laughing with me when we started joking around, thinking that he hasn't had that much fun asking someone for money in a long time, and then he's going to get in his car and drive home...just to go back to work tomorrow so that I can call him again.
I like thinking about other people's lives in abstract ways. It's so easy to just see people as these arbitrary beings that exist around you. But sometimes I'm just taken aback, realizing that they exist for me.
Bottom line is...I have been on the phone all day...and have a lot more phone calls to make tomorrow. Fortunately, I did find out that I don't owe the university, so that takes a load off.
And now...the only thing worth waking up for today:
The game is Saturday at 7:00p on ABC (I believe)...everyone should watch it.
