Tag, you're it

First things first. I said the NHL lockout would END today. I will be wrong. I hate being wrong. My watch says the 11th (I cannot change the date since the dial broke off), so, by the 16th, I mean by what my watch says - give me the benefit of the doubt...

Anyway, back to the idea of Tag. I hated Tag on the playgrounds, and I hate phone Tag. first of all, playground Tag would have been fun if I possesed the spin moves of a Barry Sanders, Duce Staley or Walter Payton, but I don't. I am as quick and nimble as Ted Washington's 40 time (if he could finish it). So, for that reason, I did not like it. Nowadays, I play phone Tag. I am awaitng a call but keep on missing it. Here is the timeline of events.

Yesterday, 1:00pm: Call comes in and hits my VM. Asking for a good time to get in touch with me, I provide him with my a time in an email, per his request.
Yesterday, 5:00pm: I hear nothing back, wait until 5:30, then leave.
Today, 8:15am: The number left for me on his VM is a different number than what the online directory says. I leave a message with the number from the online directory, since, when called, my caller ID displays his name. On the mystery number, another name comes up. I leave a message. Now, I am wondering if an email and a call to the other number is necessary.

God damn, can't this come to an end? Maybe my phone will just ring now.... NOW!... nope... now?!... maybe if I point to it... nope. Oh well, something will wind up happening today, just don't know what...
