phoning it in

I have a retired part time secretary who comes into the office twice a week to help out with some filing and correspondence.  On days she comes in, whichever of the two of us gets to the coffee shop first buys coffee for both of us.  The last couple of times we've crossed paths and ended up with 4 cups of coffee.

With that in mind I sent her a text on the way in this morning COFFEE SITUATION ?

A minute later I got a phone call from her number.  "Good morning," I answered in a cheerful voice.

" mmmm, good morning," she responded pleasant but somewhat groggily.

"  Do you want me to being you a coffee ?" I asked.

" mmmm, that would be nice....especially if you're going to deliver it." she purred.

" Deliver it ?  Where are you?"

" I'm still in bed silly...where are you ?", she asked.

"  I'm on Marietta Ave.  Are you coming into work or not ?"

" Wait....ummm.....Robert ?"

" No.", I answered.  " Suzanne ?"

" Oh my god, you have the wrong number"

" So you're not going to want that coffee ?"

Apparently, someone was assigned Suzanne old cell phone number.
