So yesterday I got a new blackberry for work. Supposedly everything was switched over, and when I turned it on my emails started to come up. So all good, I suppose.
After work, I was looking for a ride back home. I'd heard one of the people that lives near me was still in the office, so I texted him, asking if he could give me a ride home. Strangely he didn't text back, as he usually does. Didn't think too much of it, and caught a cab back to the house.
Around about 7:30 pm, our CO alarm went off due to low batteries (we hoped). We opened all the windows, changed the batteries, but also called one of the people that works for me to see if there was anything else I needed to do. His wife answered the phone saying, "Hi Paula!" Paula (not her real name) works in my section, and is this man's secretary. When I explained that it was me, she sounded puzzled as she told me that Paula's name had popped up. I shrugged it off, and went on with my day.
This morning, I went to my IT department to ask what was going on. I'd tried calling my phone number, but the new phone didn't ring at all. One of the IT guys took my number and called it. The phone rang, so I thought I was being over dramatic. I answered the phone, but the IT guy said, it was still ringing. I said hello, and this male voice answered, "Paula?" I quickly apologized in Spanish and hung up.
So, the phone company got our numbers mixed up, and I was getting this poor woman's phone calls. I then realized that when I texted my friend last night it possibly popped up on his phone as this woman asking for a ride home. Uncomfortable to say the least if his wife was reading it at the same time. So I may have accidentally started a martial argument.
They're fixing my phone as we speak, but I have to say I laughed my head off when I realized what had happened. Somewhere in BA there is a guy who is pondering why a man was answering Paula's phone. Sometimes it's a screw-up that just makes you smile all day long.
