Weird, weird, weird

At the moment we apparently have two phones -- a home phone and a cell phone -- with the same phone number. Weird. What happened is this: Ray finally relented and got a cell phone on the condition that the home phone number would become his cell phone number. I'm fine with this -- this means I don't get all his business calls with questions that I can't answer, it also means I don't get all the telemarketer phone calls. I'm really liking this. Anyway, the instructions to activate the cell phone were to wait until the home phone stopped working, then call and do all the activation stuff. So, yesterday Beth called my cell phone to inform me that she tried to call my home phone and it didn't work (exactly a week after initiating the switch). I activated Ray's cell phone. I called the number several times, it always went to the cell phone. Ray got the the telemarketer calls yesterday afternoon. :-) The weird part I noticed yesterday was that I could still make phone calls from my home phone and the number still showed up the same on caller ID. Weird, but whatever, Ray's cell phone was getting all the incoming calls, that's what I really cared about.

Then this morning my home phone rang. Having been only a day since I stopped having a home phone I didn't think much of it at first, but after a moment realized it shouldn't have ever gotten the call. The call happened to be for me, conveniently, if it only works when someone is trying to call me instead of Ray I would be fine with this. But, I was a little worried, so as soon as I got off the phone I dialed the number -- it went to Ray's cell. Weird.

I'm sure it won't last long, Ray is supposed to be getting the home phone disconnected fully. But it's still weird.
