On the Radio

So this anecdote is too irresistable. I checked a message this morning from a guy in St. Louis who said that he wanted to interview me. I wasn't entirely sure what company he said he was with, but I figured I'd call anyway and see what was up. So I call from my cell phone because I don't have my office extention for calling domestic long distance and leave a message. Well, the guy called me back and said they had just finished taping their show, but he'd be willing to try and schedule something with me for a later show. A red flag in my head went off, and I realized he was looking for another person with my name, an olympic medalist no less. We talked, and I let him know that I wasn't the person he was looking for, which I received a confused response. I, again, told him that I wasn't who he was looking for after he persisted, and then he hung up on me. I got a huge laugh out of it, and so did my co-workers.

In the end, we decided that it was a funny thing to have to tell someone that they have the wrong person with the identical name. He got my office information off of Google, and things spiraled from there. Man, I love Mondays. =D
