wrong number

Getting used to the apartment. I am really loving the space and have no major complaints. I recently purchased a couch and that has been the biggest improvement. I haven't caved in and got cable yet so I only have my VHS tapes to keep me company. For some reason I could not get my DVD player to work so I have been busting out some of the classics on tape. I forgot how much I love Circle of Friends, Basketball and Titanic! Well last night something clicked in my brain and I was able to get my DVD player to work. I know I can survive now because I can watch the first two seasons of 'The Office' I own on DVD!
My latest adventure with apartment living has been contacting the office about a couple of things that needed to be fixed in my apartment. For one I have a mop bucket residing inside my fridge to catch the water from whatever is leaking. I wrote a note and attached it to my check-in list and had never heard from the maintenance. I thought this isn't good because I guess I will never be able to get things fixed. Well I then started calling the office on my breaks and such, only because I leave in the morning well before they open and get home way after the sun has set. The messages I left were in great detail and was again saddened by living somewhere with poor service. Well the other day I thought I would check the number. I had been just using the number I had programmed into my cell phone...no need to question right? WRONG. Yeah, Im pretty sure I have been calling someones house and leaving messages about how my fridge leaks from the inside and how my sink keeps backing up since the garbage disposal is not functioning. I'm really glad I provided the answering machine with way more information needed to have management come fix my apartment. Like full name, apartment number, likes/dislikes/turn-offs, full physical description, blood type, where i hide the key, etc. I really hope no one saves them and posts them on the internet or something like that. I'm sure someone is having a good laugh. Lesson learned: Don't trust a cell phone...they are smarter than we think!
