I know it's a little thing, but having all these work people know my cell number now is going to be an unending source of annoyance in the future...
I was concerned about that when I started needing to add work people to my contacts, but I think people forget it's an option. That could easily change, of course.
Yay meara!
Nilly! It is always good to see your pixels. You are loved and missed.
Oh shrift, that's scary as hell. I hope that it gets worked out quickly.
Hooray for an easier-than-thought job, meara. Glad it wasn't nearly as involved as anticipated.
For anyone needing to use their personal cell for work, why don't you try using a Google Voice number? You can have it forwarded to your phone, and if you call using the app it will show up on caller ID as the Voice number and not your actual cell number.
shrift, that's interesting, because we also got a communication from the IRS that we underreported and owe them $3k, which is less alarming than $47k. I'm going to message you about our theory of the problem.

That ship has sailed.
I thought about doing that, Maria, but not hard enough to actually do it. People only have my number if I give it to them or I call them, which seems manageable?
Yeah, if a lot of people and/or strangers needed to call me, that would be a different story.
shrift, that's outrageous. I'm sorry, and I hope you can get it sorted with a minimum of distress.
In re cell phones: anyone who really needs to talk to me calls my landline, because they know my phone is dead in my purse more than half the time.
In normal times, I'll pick up most calls on the landline, even if I don't recognize the number, because I always allow for the chance that it could be one of the kids calling on a friend's phone.

Landline solidarity! Although I still don't answer it unless I recognize the number.
