ugh...

So - I just sat in near silence for the last 20 minutes.  Someone rang my doorbell - so I immediately thought, CRAP someone saw the cat and I can't have cats in the apartment... next thought- damn, it's someone who will make me pay them for no apparent reason again - it's 6pm on a Friday night, no one is actually working right now.  I kept the cat quiet and sat in silence... the bell ringing continued - almost in a timed sequence- I watched the clock, every minute the bell rang... wait, every minute?  What's going on.  Why hasn't this person given up yet?  Clearly (aside from my light on) I'm not home and/or not answering the door... who could it be?  One of my students?  A stranger?  Who let a stranger in the building - didn't we learn from letting strangers in?  Geeze... waiting... listening - I can't hear anyone shuffling outside my door...  Every minute?  This is weird... wait.  I hear the noise- and it might not be coming from the door area... (I walk into my bedroom).  Sheesh.  I had my cell phone on vibrate on the desk, and I had received a text message.  It vibrates to alert me (every minute) when I have gotten a message... no one at the door, just my phone.  Stupid Carla.
