What are the chances?

It’s been a pretty long time since my last post. I won’t go into details now, but I’m very glad to be back, I assure you.

I feel the need to blog about something that happened a few minutes ago.  The phone rang and I answered it, “Hello?”  The lady on the other end says, “Jodi?”  And I say, “Yes?”  And she says in a teasing way, “How come you didn’t call me?”  I’m at a total loss here so I say nothing and she continues, “About Charlie? I would have thought you’d call to tell me.”  At this point I’m trying to think of anybody I know with the name Charlie and I’m coming up blank.  So I say, “Who is this?”, hoping for another clue.  She pauses and says, “Is this National Car Rental?”  I tell her that it’s not.  She laughs and says, “I was calling Jodi at National Car Rental, I must have the wrong number.”  And I said, “But my name is Jodi!”  She replied, “I know!  And you sound just like her, too!”  Then we both start laughing, say bye and hang up.

Of course now I’m kicking myself for not asking what DID happen with Charlie?!?  Now I’ll never know…

Isn’t that crazy?  I can see that it might happen once in awhile if your name is Mary or Amy or Bob.  But Jodi???  If I were a gambler, I’d be buying a lottery ticket today.
