Resileince

So, the photo you are seeing is all the calls I get from spam callers…. So far.  It’s only 3:30, Monday while I am writing this, and I am expecting more today.  I will probably post this blog on Wednesday, and I am sure that My phone call log will look like this.   I also didn’t show you that this all begins around 10:00am and then I guess they take a lunch break at 12:00pm, and then start rolling again around 1:00 or 2:00pm. 
​
This is what my phone call list looks like every day for the past 3 weeks.  These guys do take a break on the weekend, which is nice, but from about 10:00am to about 6:00pm I am getting a phone call about every 5 to 10 minutes from some spam caller.  I don’t answer them, at first I did, and they seem to always be looking for Shirley or Jeff and always about senior care, med care, or resurgent debt.

This is currently causing me a lot of stress and grief.  I am told that if I don’t answer these calls, it will eventually get better, but it hasn’t yet.  My friend keeps telling me to just withstand it and it will go away soon.  But when?

These “people” doing the spam calling are the definition of resilience.  They will not let it go, and they will always keep calling.  Blocking numbers do not help, because they will only find a new number to use for their reason for calling.

What is the dang point of doing this kind of spam calling?  I mean, how successful is this and how do they have your phone number?  How do these calls just keep getting through? 

Anyways, its really been bothering me and also the persistence ringing or my phone is making me feel a bit depressed.  I am looking to see if I can get my number changed, which is going to be a hassle, because if I change my number I have to update all the accounts, billings, and credit cards, and whatever in between.  Also, I have to tell everyone what me new number is going to be.  But I even wonder…

Even if I change my phone number, is this spam calling still going to be a problem for me?  I just have a feeling that it is still going to continue.  Honestly, I get that spam calling is going to happen, but every 5 to 10 minutes every day from 10:00-12:00 and then 1:00-6:00pm.  I can barely use my phone without hearing it buzz in my hand. 

Anyways, I wanted to write this blog, because I know I haven’t posted anything last week and I think the week before that as well.  Mostly due to me having no motivation to write anything inspirational.  Even this blog is more of a complaint, and I am writing this just to get my feelings out, and hopefully at the end of writing and sharing this, I can feel a little bit better, so I can be more efficient in my daily living and work at church. 

But as for right now…. I have to do my best to live with the constant buzzing all day….  Just so you know, as I am writing this blog, I missed 4 phone calls two from med supplement, one from medicare, and another one from senior help. 

It’s a weird thing to pray to God to reduce the amount of spam call for me to maybe 10 a day.  But that is what I am praying for.  Anyways, I’m going to try to get motivated to do some work. 

I hope people reading this aren’t having the same issue I am, because it really does wear you down and makes you feel depressed.
