It's kind of cool to start getting business calls. I'm needing to remember to answer my cell with, "No Ordinary Affair, this is Becky", instead of just, "Hi, this is Becky." Although perhaps I would get fewer strange calls by forgetting to add my business name.... Here are but a few of my favorites:
... today a lady called wanting to know if I would go sing "Happy Birthday" to her daughter at work up near Portland.
... two days ago, one half of a lesbian couple (who I remember distinctly from the Mac Bridal Fair) called to ask me if I knew anyone who performed Domestic Partnership ceremonies. She said she knew they couldn't do it in a church because "they're weird about that".
... a couple of months ago a lady called to have me settle a dispute between her and her ex-fiance over who got to keep the engagement ring now that the engagement was broken. She didn't like the "etiquette" answer, but was happy with the legal answer (the two answers happened to contradict one other in her situation). She felt the need to go into great detail about why they had broken up, as well as the day they bought the ring.
Oh, well. Gives a little spice to my day, I guess.
