It's possible my doctor tried to call me this morning about that referral to the orthopedic surgeon but I'd disconnected the bedroom phone some time ago and by tne time I'd flailed my way to the study Whoever had hung up. Reassuring that I can indeed hear a phone down the hallway over the fan and window AC. Odd that she didn't leave a message. But also, 9:30 is prime spam phone call time and I may have dodged a bogus Visa report or duct cleaning service. Will she call tomorrow? Or, like her predecessor, does she take Fridays off? Ambivalent as I am about this surgery, I'm not waiting with bated breath (oh, that's another one of Will's coinages, is it?) for the referral, but of course I'm anxious about being woken up again at Too Early a.m. Why nine hours after I go to bed counts as too early is another question, whose answer probably comes down to 'my dreams are far more pleasant than my current waking reality, and if I wake up I'll forget what they are.' Well, and some of it may be the constant waking up in the night from panging joints, since it continues humid when not downright wet.

Well, if it is your doctor then I’m sure she’ll call you back.

Working from home does seem to have resulted in increased spam phone calls - or at least being at home to get them.

They go in waves here. Every day for a week a call about my social insurance number being suspended for suspicious activity and then blessed peace for a month. Repeat with duct cleaning services, 'This is Mark from Windows', 'This is the VISA call centre,' and robocall 'there is a warrant out for your arrest.'

I've never actually had one saying there's a warrant out for my arrest!

It's a common one around here, with the occasional nauseating wrinkle of 'This is Immigration Canada. Officers are on their way to your house now.' They offer to quash the charges if you send them money.

Ew.
