Aren’t I Worried About Privacy Online?

In our never-ending and largely futile effort to keep our home life and work life separate, Susie and I now have a new home phone number.

It’s (778) 330-7488. Will you be the first person ever to dial it?

I wish it spelled something cool, but it doesn’t. It is, however, oddly memorable, especially if you drop the 778 area code.  Try saying it twice, and you’ll see.

778 is apparently all that Vancouver has left, even for home lines these days.  Alas.

We may no longer answer the work line in the evening after we’re done working (i.e. after never) so do try to use the home number all the time now.

Unless, of course, you’re calling about work.

“Oh boy! Another great opportunity for personal growth!”

It does spell 330-SHUT, which ain't too bad (thanks to phonespell.org).

Nothing with a "0" in it can spell a whole word -- unless you can use the "0" for an "O" and that gets confusing... But yeah, there are a few shorter words within the number.

Go to the Malta Beach, dude!
