duo

I came across them during work..

8:30 in the morning, both Mom and I are in a rush to get to work, our phone rings.

mom - “Who calls international this early in the morning?” (Judging by the ringtone, we can tell it’s international)
me - “…”
mom - *checks display* “It’s definitely those surveys again, I’m not picking it up.”
me - “…”

The phone kept on ringing, repetitively. They must’ve called at least 3 times. By the time I’m at the door, I’m already fully equiped, ready to take off. The phone is still ringing. I picked it up.

me - “Hello?”
waiting…
me - “Hellow??”
phone - “Hi.”
me - “Who is this?”
phone - “I need to speak to Chris.”
me - “You got the wrong number.” *expecting apology*
phone - “What? How long has it been a wrong number?”
me - *WTF?!* “What??”
phone - “I need to speak to Chris Blah!” (I forgot the full name.)
me - “You got the wrong number! And I need to leave now!”
phone - *hangs up*
me - (=_=)b

I’m having my painting displayed on campus right now, in the Williams Cafe shop. Well.. so not really “on campus”. It’s a giant painting: 48” X 36” oil on canvas. It’s the fourth painting that I had to do for my painting course last term. The criteria is figures in environment. It came to my surprise that they wanted to exhibit this painting at Williams. I’ve always seen student pieces there, never knew who’s in charge of doing so until they’ve contacted me. I went to ECH to pick up my painting and discovered a sticky note attached to it asking to hang it at Williams. Soon after it was up there (they hung it in the beginning of January and I received the email 2 days ago), I got someone asking me if it’s for sale. I’m still debating whether I should sell it yet.. and if so, how much? I’m surprised that there are people willing to buy it..
