For years now, my phone number has been one digit away from that of a doctor's office. As a result, I'm often correcting the calls of those who don't know. I figure that anyone calling a doctor is a serious enough reason to call them back.
Today, I was on the Internet, and the secretary of another doctor called while I was on the Internet. I have Internet voicemail, so I always get the messages. The lady who left the message gave me hell for tying up my phone line when she was calling for something as important as an appointment change...
Thing is, the message was for a woman named Joy Beagleman. Same initials as mine, but that isn't Jeff Boman. Weirder still, I clealry state my name while the message plays.
I called this secretary back, and got profuse apologies for her error - in which the phone number had the two center digits different from mine...
Sometimes, you just can't win.
