I Lost

I was so excited yesterday morning when my new phone as work rang for the very first time. I sat up straight, cleared my throat, picked up the handset. Here is the conversation that followed...

"AB* Bank, this is Melissa."

"Did I win?"

Umm...

"Pardon?"

"Am I the winner?"

"I'm sorry...?"

"Idn't this MIX 100 (hunerd)?" (notice the spelling - that was the accent.)

"I think you have the wrong number..."

"Uh, oh, sorry."

Click.


Sigh...
