Weird Phone Call And I Have Not Made As Much Progress As I Thought
First, some fore-matter.
There are two people who keep giving out my phone number as theirs when they sign up for some service. They use the service and then don't pay for it. So I get their collection calls. One is for Erica. I get a real live person on this one. Always asking for her and me tell them that she gave them a bogus number and to quit calling. Alas, they do not quite calling. Every day I can count on that call. The second is for an Eric Wrangle. But this call... this call is an automated one. It's script is as follows: "If you are Eric Wrangle, please press 1. If you are not Eric Wrangle, please press 2."
Well there was a hiccup in their system yesterday. The call just said, "If you are, press 1. If you are not, press 2." That's the most existential phone call I've ever received. I felt almost compelled to press 1 and confuse the hell out of a person when they came on the like for Eric Wrangle and I told them that the call told me to press 1 if I am and 2 if I am not. And seeing as 'I think, therefore I am,' I pressed 1 and got this person. Almost. I decided to just hang up like I always do. Because if I press 2 then it asks if I want them to hold while I get Eric, press 1 and if I can take a message, press 2. There's never a prompt for a "Ain't no Eric Wrangle here." I'd have to press 1 to say I'm him and then tell the person that there is no Eric here and that I know of no Eric Wrangle. They've told me before that they'll remove me from the call list but it never happens. So I just hang up and get the call the next day. This will go on for about a month and then they won't call for a few months.
On a sad note, I had a dream where I was trapped somewhere and I was trying to find First John and couldn't find him. Then I realized that I was asleep and I needed to wake up but realizing that he wasn't around and I couldn't get him. In both cases I felt sad after I couldn't find him. Finally I woke myself up completely and thought, 'Well, crap, now I'm going to have to go talk to myself again. It's been long enough that I've fallen back into the old habit. It was a nice month without those dreams though.' So it's time to get back with my 21 year old self. He's probably been talking to my 30 year old me who wants Jared and this, in some warped way that if it's possible for 30 year old me to end up with Jared (I haven't been able to disawage me from thinking that, yet) that 21 year old me can have First John.
The fact that I'm depressed probably doesn't help.
