Creeva’s World 2.0

You ever had one of those inci­dents where you don’t really want to call some­one?  It can be the per­son, the time you have avail­able, the cir­cum­stance, or the res­o­lu­tion — what­ever you don’t really want to call.  I had this the other day.   So I receive this mes­sage via Myspace from a friend that another per­son I know wants me to call them.  In the quick mes­sage it left a phone num­ber and some­thing about get­ting com­put­ers or doing some con­sult­ing work.   I thought as long as it fit within my sched­ule I was game.

The per­son I was sup­posed to call was some­one that I’ve said less then a dozen words to over the last seven years.   This per­son also used to live with my wife and myself, and the com­mu­ni­ca­tion stopped when I asked him to leave.   From his point of view I was in the wrong and should apol­o­gize, I on the other hand just wish him a good life.   That infor­ma­tion is only to give you back­ground on the sit­u­a­tion, some­day I’ll write up that whole story and he can show up and refute any claims on it he may like.   He was always my lit­tle brother in a way you think broth­ers should be, my actual lit­tle brother and I didn’t nearly get along so nicely.   So happy life to him, I hope he does well.

So this is why the Myspace mes­sage was so odd.   First it’s out of the blue, and sec­ond the guy didn’t con­tact me directly.  Let’s be hon­est for a minute, it’s not like I am very hard to find on the intrawebs.  Heck the girl­friend he lives with has me on her Myspace friend’s list.    I’m still puz­zled by the inter­me­di­ary maneu­ver.    I know I have cer­tain skills and knowl­edge based out of his friends that he talks to, but I don’t think I’m entirely unique unless it’s some­thing spe­cific or secu­rity related.    That’s another thing that I find strange in this whole process.

Since it was a chance to make a few extra dol­lars I made the call.   I received his voice­mail.  I left a mes­sage and my call back num­ber, giv­ing him my Grand­cen­tral num­ber to call me back on.   So far it’s been two days and no return call, and he didn’t just call and hang up since Grand­cen­tral would have logged that.   I guess I’m more curi­ous on why me then any­thing.   The ball is in his court though.   I left a mes­sage, so he has my info.   I guess tomor­row I’ll give the inter­me­di­ary the mes­sage that it didn’t seem that important.

Mun­dane story?  Yes it is.  It just popped into my head so I thought I would write it out.
