Stranger Things

Every now and then, numbers get crossed,  mix ups happen.  My phone number belonged to a "David" before it became mine, and although I've had this number for 14 years, I still get calls for "David ".

Yesterday, I got a text that said "Where are you? I'm getting off the plane."   Since I'm not expecting anyone, I texted back "wrong number ".  

"Hey Rachel , This is Alyssa here. My personal phone is dead and I am using business  phone. I have landed at LAX Airport and Waiting for you."

My reply: "Area code 480 is phoenix area. Wrong number."

"Oh Sorry. This is so embarrassing. I'm really sorry for inconvenience. I had arrived from my 16 hours flight from Hong Kong. I was Trying to reach out my assistant and I think I put some digits wrongly due to jet lag. I hope I didn't bother you in any way."

My reply: "No problem! Welcome to LA! "

This odd little interaction made me smile.  And I hope Alyssa found Rachel!!
