I just remembered that I had a missed call from an unidentified number on Monday afternoon. So I called it just now and over the roar of my 1980s air conditioner it sounded like some company I had applied to. I should have left a message. HEY! It’s me. Just thinking about you at 2 AM. Didn’t forget about you. Um, call me back? I’m still interested… Sorry I didn’t get back to you earlier. OK, so, talk sooooooon! To be fair they didn’t leave me a message so I thought it was a wrong number. Also, I had a lot of Game of Thrones to watch.

EDIT: OK, I listened to her voice mail again in complete silence and I can’t make out the name of the company she called from. I doesn’t really sound like a company that I had applied to, I don’t think, so that’s kind of a relief? OK, here’s what really happened. I usually don’t pick up unidentified numbers b/c if it is from a company/job then I want to know who it is ahead of time so I can go back and read about their company and the position before I call them back. That way I am ready and not caught off guard while watching Dr. Oz (this, I think, is mature, responsible, being prepared, A+ grown up stuff). However, on the day that this lady called me I happened to be playing Pretty Pet Salon on my phone which is timed so when that call popped up I hit “decline” and went back to playing (this, I’m sure, is dumb, juvenile, mental, really pathetic stuff). Yes, I could’ve paused the game and yes, that probably pissed her off b/c she heard the “Your call is being forwarded to an automated voice mail” message… BUT! What if I was legitimately busy? For her to be that annoyed to not leave me a VM nor call me back again is a sign that I wouldn’t want to work for her or a company like hers anyway.

Yeah, rationalization.
