Caller I.D.

I do enjoy caller I.D. because it lets me skip those irritating sales calls that coming now even to cell phones but there is a downside to it. Whenever I hear my phone ring and I look at the caller I.D. and see work's phone number my stomach just clenches. 9 times out of 10 it is nothing, just a stupid question, but every once in awhile it is that call you dread. The call where you have to give up precious time off and go in and cover for a slacker who called off/ didn't show up/ overslept. I guess I must be a pessimist because every time the phone shows that work number I'm expecting to go in. I think maybe I'll start telling myself "Oh look! They miss me and they are calling just to say hi" to get over my little phobia. Who knows, maybe they will start calling just to say "howdy" then. Of course then I'll have to put a stop to that so they don't use up my minutes. . .but you get the point.
