I had two interesting conversations on yesterday that I just had to share. 

First, I contacted someone at The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) to ask if one of their properties was still open.  I had called all of the properties that were posted on the CHA’s website.  The CHA has gone through major reconstruction over the past few years.  Two of the numbers were disconnected, and there was no answer at two other numbers.  So, I inquired about the properties with no answer.  I was told that the properties were still open.  I asked for the contact information because I needed the information.  Do you know that this person told me to call 411 for the number?  I was talking to CHA!  Why did I need to call 411?

My second call came from someone who told me that he didn’t know if he was calling the right number when he called my new red phone.  I know I changed my voicemail message after I got a new phone to reflect my phone-is-working status.  So, I listened to my message and it says, “Hi, this is Marcie.”  So, what was this person talking about really?

After those two conversations, I had to wonder if these people actually thought I had sucker written across my forehead.  Nope.  I am convinced that they were the suckers to make those comments.
