The Realities of Technology

I just realized that there are six telephone numbers associated with me, but really you can only reach me of you call two of them; and then its on the same piece of equipment.

Here's what I have:

- cell phone

- work extension in Phoenix

- work extension in Alexandria

- work extension in DC

- blackberry

- aircard

My work extension in Phoenix is forwarded to my cell phone, so you call either number, you make the same phone ring.

I am only at the desks in Alexandria and DC one to two days a week each.

My Blackberry does not have a phone plan, so call that number all you want, nothing is gonna happen (actually, I have no idea what happens, I should call it and see).

Obviously, the aircard does not receive calls.

That is a LOT of numbers to keep track of! I only know the first two to give to you because in my mind, the other four are irrelevant!

This all sounds like good justification for why I don't have a house phone.
