The Mystery Phone

So I thought I would comment today on the funny thing that my phone does at work. Apparently for some reason unknown to me and possibly the universe, it chooses at random times to ring once and that's it. I'll get to work and start my day, then the phone rings and you know... you go through the whole scenario in your head......."OK, what do I say oh yeah, University services this is Tim and then your start to tell your body to move your hand and your fingers over in that direction to answer the phone". But before you can get the muscle memory twitch of moving your hand the phone stops ringing. It only rang once! Is someone playing a trick? Did they get the wrong number? Does my phone just hang up on people after one ring? I have NO idea. So I just accept it and move on. This happens periodically throughout the day and every time I think it'll be a real call but it just rings once and that's it. I've come to accept it as a daily routine and perhaps I'll never know why it does that, but I've come to terms with the mystery phone. Maybe I could rig up something to give applause each time it rings and then hangs up, at least then I could feel better about it.
