I’m looking for a job. I’d like to work for company that does web development but that might not happen. I’ve applied to a few of places so hopefully one of those will work out. If you have any leads on a job, let me know ;)

If everyone would take this survey for me I would appreciate that. Its for a class. Its not the greatest survey but it will get me the points for the class :) Yes, I am a slacker.

<edit>Plenty of people have taken it. Thanks everyone that did! :) </edit>

Thanks a lot.

Reusing phone numbers

March 15th, 2006, 02:47 pm

A few weeks back I decided to get a cell phone. Ever since then I have been getting calls from someone with a 520 area code (Arizona I believe). When ever I answer these, its either a recording in Spanish or its in English saying this is a “prepaid phone call from a county prison inmate.” I don’t know anyone in prison (nor Arizona) so I usually hang up at this point.

I’ve also got one phone call from someone in Florida. I don’t know anything about this number since I wasn’t able to answer it and they haven’t called back since.

Today I got a call from the local area code. It was someone looking for a Kevin. My brother’s name is Kevin but he shouldn’t be giving out my phone number. It turned out it was a different Kevin and this use to be his number.

This annoys me a little because I am doing a prepaid plan (I don’t use it all that often so I thought that prepaid would be less expensive over time). I buy the minutes before I use them instead of having a monthly contract. When I get these calls its wasting my very expensive minutes. It would be nice if the cell phone companies would hang on to these numbers that were already being used for one year or atleast 6 months so that people have a chance to realize the person doesn’t have that number anymore.

On an unrelated note, I scored 6,876 in Solitaire. That game took me 111 seconds to finish. A new record for me.
