The Phone Has Been Ringing All Morning

I got up earlier than I wanted and I turned on the business phone. Right an 9 am it began, numbers I do not know so I assume are telemarketers, I did not answer those four in a row. They are making up for being off yesterday. Another call came in, another area code I did not know, however, this one was someone wanting to rent the house that I took back yesterday. Yes word spreads fast! Next was the doctors offices robo call about appointments. I had an errand to run so I got that done and over with came back and called the guy wanting the house, I know him, more his family than him, I had thought "no I won`t rent to him" before I called but his reason for having to move was the kind of moving I understand, so I said yes and as soon as I get this guys stuff out he wants it and has never been inside! His sister has and if I recall I may have hired her before to help me get it ready to rent. So how about that two of six calls were actually for me/us on the business line.

Funny how you never see pay phones any more. My calls go to voicemail.

I'm glad you have someone to move into your rental house, right away. Telemarketers are basically wasting precious time, as far as I'm concerned.

@andriaperry Jay didn't set up his voicemail box, for this purpose. They can never leave a message!

Sometimes you just get plenty of calls and you get exhausted.
