Digital cable installed

For those following the story, my digital cable was finally installed this past Saturday, with another conversation worthy of the one with dear Ernesto.  This one was with the cable installer:

Installer:  I called this morning and you didn’t answer.

Josh:  Really?

Installer:  Yes, but the base said I had to come anyway.

Josh:  Well, I’m glad you did.  What number did you call?

Installer:  Both of them.

Josh:  What were the numbers?

Installer:  I left messages on both numbers.

Josh:  Could you please read the numbers?

Installer:  Yes.  The first one is 373-4027.  The second one is 373-4027.

Josh:  (pause)

Installer:  Oh, I guess those are the same.

Josh:  Yes, and that’s my work number.
