amazing

it never ceases to amaze me how many people leave a "wrong number" message on my answering machine. since i've lived here (almost 4 months) i've gotten about 15 messages on my answering machine from people looking for peaches, jerry, angie, mike, and jimbo. just so that you understand what's happening here, you should know that the outgoing message on my answering machine is, literally, "hi, this is emily, leave a message." not only do people not realize that they are dialing the wrong number, but when they hear this message, they STILL proceed to leave a message for peaches, jerry, angie, mike, or jimbo. on one day, i actually got 3 separate wrong number messages. i've even called the machine myself to make sure that the outgoing message doesn't mistakenly give the impression that i am peaches, jerry, angie, mike, or jimbo - it doesn't.

by the way, don't take this post as an invitation to start calling me and saying "this is peaches/jerry/angie/mike/jimbo - have there been any messages for me?
