Is this the party to whom I'm speaking?

raybearThis journal entry topic has been specifically requested. Yes, sometimes I do play requests.
My cell phone doesn't have a button cover like my other one did (I don't even think they make phones with a cover anymore, unless they fold in half). The keylock doesn't work the way I want either -- it only works when you turn the power on, you key-in the code, then the buttons work. Until then, you can't do anything, like receive phone calls. So it's sort of pointless. Plus, I've forgotten the code, so I fear turning it on and being locked out of my own phone.
But, I really need to buy some sort of case I think, because I have a tendency to accidentally call people. Which usually isn't too horrible -- they get a voicemail with some muffled noises that hopefully doesn't last too long. One time though I recorded part of a phone conversation on someone's voicemail that involved a long, involved rant/ridiculing of someone's poetry. Luckily the person who received the voicemail agreed with me on the topic, but it could have been ugly, particularly since said poet is in my cell phone address book.
This morning was a first -- I accidentally made an obscene phone call. I was busy, um, accidentally oversleeping which is why I was late to work (yeah, that's it), when suddenly I was informed by the other party in the room that the phone in my pocket -- I was halfway to getting dressed when I interrupted myself for a not-so-quick-quickie -- was on and ON. The mechanical woman's voice was asking us if I wanted to re-record the message. Yes! I quickly pressed the right number, re-recorded a blank message and sent it. Then I checked my log to see who was the recipient of this lovely accident -- none other than Mr.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nineinchlovely. I was amused and relieved. While I would be slightly embarassed at having him hear some private muffled noises of sexual activity, there are MANY more worse recipients of such voicemail who would be much more traumatic to my psyche, including my parents, my therapist, or even random business contacts related to DJing.
What also cracked me up is that when I ended the call, my phone had been on for six minutes. That means a hella long message had previously gotten recorded before I deleted it and started over.
So for those of you who's phone number is in my cell phone, you've been warned. I'm not trying to harass you. It's just an accident.
Or maybe I should just make sure I'm better about removing my pants in the future.
In other news, as you may have guessed by the level of activity I was engaging in this morning, my back is doing MUCH better. It's still uncomfortable to be sitting at this damn desk at work, but at least I was able to wake up and get out of bed without feeling like a hot sword was stabbing me in the back this morning.

sometime lj is dead
Date: 2003-04-24 01:42 pm (UTC)i was sure this post would bring a stream of anecdotes of mis-sent e-mails and accidental calls, but alas, not even
perhaps it's one of those things where it was only funny to be there and i've lost my perspective.

Date: 2003-04-24 01:52 pm (UTC)actually yesterday was administrative professional's day. perhaps everyone either felt guilty or threatened depending on the level with which they were appreciated yesterday and thus decided to work hard today.
