I am a cellphone person. I travel a lot. It is the only way to get a hold of me most of the time.
I program a lot of numbers into it, as a matter of fact most every number that I dial I program in. I rarely erase numbers, but often when a romance ends I will change the names of the certain women to "Do not answer." "She is Crazy" "Not Tonight." I usually change their ringtones to "Mo Money Mo Problems." I do this so that if they call and alcohol has been flowing, I do not tell some psychotic lady "Baby, I bet you look good tonight. I miss you. Hell I even love you." This lesson also usually helps deter me from "Drunk Dialing"
I am spending some time this week, in one of my company's other offices. After introductions to everyone this morning, I went to talk to the local manager in his office. I forgot I had left my cellphone in the front area on the receptionist desk.
I hear footsteps approaching the manager's office. The receptionist comes up.
Receptionist: "...Mr. Jesse you have a call."
Me: "...What does the Caller ID say?"
Receptionist: "... The Bitch"
Me: ".... Hit that bottom button on the side. It will shut it off."
Receptionist: "...Ex eh?"
Me: "...Yup."
Receptionist: "... That's a hell of an idea. It would prevent drunk dials"
Me: (To manager) "...She is smart."
*UPDATE*
Who is "The Bitch?" I dated her about a year and a half ago, she is a cocktail waitress, with an ass that doesn't quit and an attitude that would make Christ cry. She is about as charming as a female crocodile during menopause.
Ok... ROFLMAO, had a visual there with the crocodile and certain male body parts and ... oh geezz.... oh jess, thanks. . .

Posted by: Biologisvensk at June 16, 2005 04:31 AMIt works Heather it really does. The one downside to this, is if you ever work it ou with them and they happen to check your phonebook. They tend to get a little pissy when they see themselves listed as "Whiny Slut" Yes that did happen. Yes, it was a short lived reunion of our relationship.

I could not be that intelligent. Nice thought though.
I work for a wireless carrier, and I love when stuff like that comes up on peoples phones.
Posted by: William Teach at June 16, 2005 12:20 PMSomeday soon I will post all of my names in the phones with an explanation for each. Most are quite interesting.
Posted by: jess @ LOSLI at June 16, 2005 01:26 PMGotta say Jess that I have never been so pathetic as to go thru the cellphone numbers on a boyfriend's phone. If you go lookin' for trouble eventually you find it.
Posted by: JulieB at June 16, 2005 03:07 PMIndeed. The logic behind my cellphone is that you never know when you will need to talk to someone and won't have a phone list. If a girl gets jealous over other numbers it is time for her to go.
Posted by: jess @ LOSLI at June 16, 2005 03:12 PMI'm glad I'm not the only one that does this. I have quite a few in my phone since I've had the same number for years.
