I now know who "Maria" is

Ever since I got my phone, occasionally I'll get these messages asking for "Maria." Obliviously I ignored them. Plus if they can't tell by my voice mail message that I'm not Maria, then it’s their fault.

Yesterday, on my way back from school, I was sitting on the train. I checked my phone and saw that I had 10 messages. TEN at around 4 pm. OH my. I though Clueless had tried to reach me.

While listening to the first few messages for Maria, I heard words like house, room, and I'm like whoa! "Can you come to my house? Hold on there. But it turned out, after I had listened to the messages at home, that they asked Maria to come to there house to clean. Yup, from what I gathered, Maria is a maid or house cleaner, or she does some type of cleaning in a house. So the mystery is solved. I'm a bonafide Veronica Mars. See, I have VM sleuthing skills.

As for the other messages, a law office or lawyer wanted a certain person (can't remember the name,) to call back.

So it's possible to get people to leave messages on a phone number, which I have owned for over a year now.

I would have thought, as I mentioned earlier, that once they heard my voice mail message that they would figure out that I'm NOT Maria. But on second thought, I should use that as my alias now.

Hello, I'm Maria.

Edit 12-2-06: A couple of days ago I received a phone call still asking for Maria. I'm not sure where Maria disappeared too, but those folks seem to have an outdated phone number. Maybe I should ask them what they want next time, so I can clear this whole thing up. No more Maria phone calls.
