Red Ring Tupperware Party, Ringing in the New (23)

Cheap entertainment…

So, I get a phone call. Some guy is trying to order a pizza.

We’ve all been through the drill: size, crust, toppings, cash, address, phone number.

I’ve got it all written down. I told him it'd be there in a half an hour or so.

Then I called the Chicken Shack and ordered him a bucket of chicken.

Don’t misdial my number.

Nice, I must admit, I've done something similar. Someone called me at 1am or something back in the UK, to book a hotel room. Tossers. So I "booked" them in.

Don't mis-dial me in the early morning.

pure genius on the chicken though!

My phone used to be one digit off from a local pharmacy. After about the tenth call, I just started taking the orders. The calls stopped shortly after that...

Our home phone number is one digit off from the phone number of a local Thai restaurant. We get several calls every month for Thai take out orders. I especially love the idiots who don't believe they dialed a wrong number.

My work number must be close to some Dr's Office, because I'll randomly get calls from patients, and even on occassion from labs talking about the results of tests.

Back when I was in high school our phone number was one digit off from the local grocery store. We used to get all kinds of interesting calls.

Just don't pretend to be a gynaecologist Nick, people who do that tend to end up in a heap of trouble!

I almost never talk to the people, it's just messages. Messages I generally delete right after they start and I realized it was a wrong number, because I just don't want to risk hearing about certain things.

Messages - phhht. I got one the other day asking me when the next class started, I replied back the last one I went to was in 1968, so I think you are a bit late haha I did not hear back.

If they're divulging confidential patient information in those messages they could be breaking the law. It's ridiculous the steps we have to go through to hide even so innocuous an item as a patient's account number where I work...

(Where I work for one more week, anyway...)

The lab ones are pretty vague... It's more when the patient's calsl that I'm worried about...

You could pretend to be a dr. So many times I get asked if I am a dr...

Could work well for you, Nick.

Opinion time. I do not have a calibrated monitor. To me, the colours in this look good, but the printed colours are not quite the same. The white looks white both on the computer and printed, but the skin tones look a fair bit warmer. I've noticed that a number of pictures I've printed look like they have too much magenta. I just don't know if the pictures themselves are off, or if I have a printing issue.

I'm guessing your printer profile is off. I'm on a calibrated system....color looks good here.

iPad here...

She looks more tanned than he is, but I'm guessing that's accurate.

Otherwise, it's fine here too.
