"We don't Superman no mo'. We just Super-STALK that..."

You know the rest. (Thanks, Soror, for the quote!) You ever get a random call from someone you haven't spoken to in ages? How about this for a funny story:

I am at the office and have just finished my morning routine of checking four e-mail accounts (one for work; the other three personal) and my three favorite blogs (shouts out to Nineteen Sixty-Nine), when my phone rings. Checking the caller ID, I notice the caller is from a strange (as in, I don't know who this could be) area code. I thought about all the resumes I had sent to various firms in the past few weeks, so, I put on my best "work voice" and answered. As soon as I heard the other voice on the line, I thought to myself... W.T.F. It was a guy I used to date many moons (okay, really only 6-7 months) ago, with whom I deliberately stopped communicating for various reasons.

I told him that I was surprised to hear from him... especially on my work line (since I had never given him the number and we were never at the point where we called each other at the job). He explained that he had recently moved out of the city for a better job opportunity, that only a few of his friends knew he was moving beforehand, and that he had gotten a new cell phone and inadvertently lost all the numbers from his old one. And just how did he get my phone number at work? Let's just say he looked it up on a website that shares all my professional contact information.

Being the skeptical person I am, I don't know that I completely buy his story about losing the numbers from his old phone. Considering the fact that I stopped answering and returning his phone calls in early summer, I suspect he called me at work because he knew I would not answer some random number on my celli. Oh, well. I guess we really don't Superman no mo'. But, super-stalking is so not a good look.
