Stop Ringing!

My sister's contract at my mum's work ran out at the end of last week, so she has been home this week. In that week (still only four days old), our phone has rung more times than it did in, say, 2004. Seriously, on Monday, it rang every half-hour from 9:30 to noon. And it's nothing important!!! She's on the phone for all of three minutes, then she hangs up. Then, 27 minutes later, the phone will ring again, for another three minute call.

That, and, when she's not receiving calls, she's making them. Usually to my mum to say things like, "Mike said he was going to be home for dinner, but then Carley called and he took a shower, so he probably won't be." Ummmm...I don't keep records on these sorts of things, but I'm pretty sure I talk to Carley and shower in the same day on a fairly regular basis.

The point is, if you can't get through on the first try, keep trying. It's like trying to win a contest from a radio station.

(I'm so glad we finally got broadband internet, I was so tired of having the phone tied up.)
