New phone number.

I got a new phone number.

I had planned on keeping my 801 phone number forever, because I had discovered that area codes don't matter anymore. While in school it became apparent that the 7-digit phone number had given way to the 10-digit phone number; when everyone has cell phones, long distance is no longer an issue. We'd moved a step closer toward having one phone number that you have for your entire life.

What I hadn't considered is that in the real world, people aren't all from different places like they were at BYU, and many people still use landline phones (which makes long distance an issue again). Our apartment complex has a call box from the front gate that goes to your phone... but not a long distance phone. And when I got here and started telling people my phone number, they thought the 801 was the first three digits instead of the area code.

So I got a new number. I'm not crazy about putting it on the blog, for the whole creepy public to see, so send me an email or something if you need it.
