- the most peculiar event just occurred in the lab. i was sitting here
- trying to write something about elvis when the phone rang and andy
- (another grad student) answered it. it was a woman asking for jenn. this
- is not so weird except that there is no jenn in this lab nor has there
- ever been. my friend tries to convince her that there is no jenn here
- while wildly gesticulating with his hands, but to no avail. so, he gives
- the phone to me and i try to get out of her what number she dialed and if
- her friend was on campus. she was quite pleasant but didn't believe a word
- either of us told her regarding her friend. she finally told me her
- friends phone number, it is 531-1033. our lab phone number is 585-3110,
- but if you are on campus you can dial 5-3110. i surmised that she was
- indeed on campus and that she had failed to dial the 9 to get off campus.
- she finally hung up.
-
- of course, i couldn't let it end like this so i called up the number she
- gave me and asked for jenn. what do you know? she answered the phone! i
- said your friend just called here and she will be calling you soon. i want
- you to assure her she had the wrong number when she called here. she said
- she was on the phone with her now. i laughed and said bye. i wonder if i
- know this woman. should i have asked her out? i guess i could track her
- down since i have her friends number. am i getting obsessed? i wonder what
- color her hair is? i wonder if she's a mormon? i wonder if her feet taste
- good after a good hard run? will i ever have the answer to these
- questions? will this ever cease to plague me?
