You never know who's on the other end

At work there are only two people who really call me with "Unknown" on the caller ID. Morgan and a PJ program professional. When Morgan calls she always calls my google voice number which also rings to my cell phone. My cell phone usually rings after about 2 rings on my work phone.

So today I said good bye to Morgan and told her to call me if she couldn't sleep. About 30 minutes later my phone rang and the caller ID said "Unknown." I thought oh shoot the program professional called me yesterday and I forgot to call her back. But, I was working on something with Diane so I figured I would call the program professional back in a minute. But then my cell phone rang too. So I told Diane, "it's Morgan, this will be quick."

Then, completely certain that Morgan is on the other end of the phone, I pick up and say, "hey baby." Then I hear, "... is this Lauren?" I then had to explain that I thought it was someone else. I had given my google voice number to JESNA so if they had any questions about the file I sent them they could reach me over the weekend.

Luckily the woman on the other end of phone, after I apologized said, "I don't mind being greeted with 'hey lady'". The whole thing was really embarrassing.
