I am confused; I am driven to distraction; I am losing my effing mind.
It started a couple of nights ago.
My aide was about half an hour or so later than I expected for coming over and getting me into bed, so I decided to call her cellphone and check what's up.
The phone rang four times, and I heard the following message from the company computer voice lady:
Phone Voice: I'm sorry. The voice mail box is full, and there is no room to leave a message. Goodbye. Phone: *disconnects*
My aide shows up just as my mind starts going into anxiety spirals, thinking maybe she's had a family emergency (turns out she just had to give her youngest daughter a ride home from work).
When I express relief that everything's okay, because the fact that her voice mail was full had me worried that something was wrong, my aide tells me: "There's no voice mails on my phone."
So I figure it's a temporary glitch.
But the next day, when I try to call to ask her a question about something, I hear the message:
Phone Voice: I'm sorry. The voice mail box is full, and there is no room to leave a message. Goodbye. Phone: *disconnects*
So the next time she's at my house, as an experiment, I try calling her number. She's standing right there. We hear her phone ringing through my phone's speaker, but the cellphone in her hand isn't ringing at all.
And then we both hear the message:
Phone Voice: I'm sorry. The voice mail box is full, and there is no room to leave a message. Goodbye. Phone: *disconnects*
I don't know WTF is going on. I can call every other number just fine. When she calls me, the call goes through just fine. But, for some reason I cannot understand I. Cannot. Call. Her. I haven't been able to call her for days. The one person I have the most need to call.
I don't know if it's my phone line that's faulty, or hers, or a glitch somewhere else in the network. I don't know who to complain to to get this fixed.
(By the way, I have an old-fashioned landline. The same landline I've had for 30 years.)
*sob*
