So I keep getting brief calls from toll-free numbers, numbers preceded by 801 or 888. So brief I've yet to be able to answer them in time, and they've never made it to voicemail.
I know what I want these calls to be... I want them to be The Girl, calling me from a payphone, finally ready to talk after 6 months. Hanging up because she's still afraid to admit something. I want there to be a chance she's decided she feels for me what I feel for her, and she's trying to tell me, but is too afraid I won't feel the same to complete the call.
I WANT that to be who's calling. But it isn't, is it. No. It's probably telemarketers with insufficient patience. It's the Bank of Montreal calling about a late student loan payment (my ex-wife was a little slow last month). Or it's those survey people that called while I was telling vacation stories to a hoard of people a few weeks back. Or it's TD thinking that since I have a mortgage with them I obviously want even more debt so they should try to sell me a credit card. Or something even more obnoxious along those lines.
That's who it probably is.
But I still know who I want it to be.

I get a lot of calls from a 1 800 number lately. It is Telus.
