Jeffrey better watch his back!

About 2 years ago I got a new cell phone.  Good, no?  Well, good and bad.  Turns out, the person who used to have my phone number decided that paying bills just wasn't in his master plan.  So for TWO YEARS, daily, I get at least one call for this person.  It has gotten so bad that part of my voicemail greeting says, "If you are calling for Jeffrey, this is no longer his number." Crazy thing is, they STILL leave me a message! 

"Is Jeffrey there?"  "No."
"Is this Jeffrey?"  NO!?!"
"Do you know where Jeffrey is?"  "OMG, No!"
"Do you have an alternate contact number for him?"  

[Here's where I usually lose it a little]

Listen lady, Jeffrey used to have this phone number and now it's mine and I don't know where he is and I'm not related to him and I don't even know WHO he is and I don't know how to find him.  Actually, if you find him, just send him to me and I will take care of the situation for you because I guarantee you that he has caused me more trouble in the past two years than the effort you are spending trying to get the $15 dollars back that he forgot to pay from a late fee on his Blockbuster Video membership card six years ago."

The moral of the story: pay your bills so some suburban mom doesn't have to get all medievil on your a** because you ran away from your bills.  Jeffrey Szcalicki, if you are out there, you better hope they find you first.  Ok, I feel better now :)

I dunno, I sort of miss your angry messages to Jeffrey. I think you should put them back on your voicemail message.

OR just screw with people and say something like "Jeffrey is here and he doesn't want to talk to you."

By the way, the new layout is GORGEOUS. It makes me want some bread NOW. Please bake?

Jeffrey is surely shaking in his boots. If not, he should be. You're scaring me!
