Hey Lucy!! You Got Some 'Splainin To Do!!
There I am at lunch today with some co-workers. Happily catching up on all of the office gossip. And I hear my cell phone ringing. Hmmm. Not expecting any calls. So I check the caller ID to see if I know who it is. Nope. Hmmm. Wonder who that could be? I can't bear the suspense. It could be the call telling me that I have won the grand prize in some super contest and now own a fabulous new car!! Far be it for me to miss that golden opportunity. Or it could be the boss extremely irate about something. Either way, I answer.

"Hello?"
"Is this Lucy?"
"No. Sorry you must have the wrong number."
"Well is Lucy there?"
"No. Sorry you must have the wrong number."
"Are you sure?"
"No. Sorry you must have the wrong number."
"Well is this ###-####?"
"Yes. But this is my cell phone and there is no Lucy here."
"Oh. Well can you ask around and see if there is a Lucy nearby."

Care to guess what I did at that point?

The funny thing is that this was by no means the first call for Lucy I have received. They seem to go in cycles. I'll get like 6 or so in a week and then nothing for months. I haven't had any lately so I guess this means that I should be prepared for more calls. Maybe next time I'll say I am Lucy and see where it goes. Maybe Lucy was going to win the fabulous new car and I can claim it instead. Or maybe I'll hand the phone to Mark and have him pretend to be Lucy. That might be even more amusing.

The good news is that at least it wasn't an irate boss.

If anyone knows Lucy, can you please ask her to get her own darned phone number??
