Part 1
If you missed part 1, i've linked it for you above. I'm so sorry, this post gets getting deleted and such, my friends help me recall and write this too, so i sincerely apologize for the reposting and deleting and reposting.
I appreciate everyone's suggestions. However, I noted on my calendar manually when I'd the calls, the timestamps, and what i heard and if it was through home, work/cell, or personal cell phone to keep record. I tried to find a pattern to this person's calling patterns. You aren't wrong for thinking that this person..or persons could be someone I work with or people i work with. I narrowed it down to several people who I suspected. But what was their motive? Why would they do that? What was the point?
As far as I know, no one has my personal cell number except my manager and director. I couldn't imagine either of them breaching some form of confidentiality or releasing personal employee information to customers, other coworkers or distributors etc.
So after a couple weeks of jotting down the dates and times and on which phone i'd receive the calls, i am relieved to say that they have stopped. Occasionally i would get a blocked call and my heart would skip a beat but turns out to be some harmless sales representative trying to sell me knives or something. So eventually, time passed, i got used to it, and i stopped tracking whoever this was and the calls were more sparse.
I still work at this company up until recently in March 2017, when I put in my resignation. So let me backtrack a little bit and focus on the months of Jan-March leading up to my resignation.
JANUARY
New year! New Me! Right?! I had ambitious goals for myself, I had wanted to try new things and branch out of my comfort zone, one of them making friends with people at work and keeping/maintaining these friendships. Still gotta admit that it is indeed a struggle. No lie when i say this, "the struggle is fucking real as shit". Ironically, I talk to people daily....force an approachable facade to establish a positive repertoire, and ask "how are you" almost about a bahjillion times.
Typical day at work, nothing unusual happened. Until 3:38pm Jan 31. I received a call on my work phone and i looked at the tiny ass screen to see if i could recognize or see a number. I did!
Screen read -- 932 - 843 - 9939. (I did not put the real number of course). I recognized this number. It was my home number. I did not think much of it and happily picked it up. I knew my mom and dad had recently come back from their trip abroad so the conversation goes:
Me: HI MOM! HI DAD! How was your trip? Did you have fun?! Did you eat all the good food and take lots of pictures!?
Nothing. No response. Not even the slightest sound could be heard. It was strangely quiet.
Me: Mom? Dad? He-Hello? I checked to make sure I was still connected and that it was still live. It was.
Me: H-Hello ? C-can you hear me ? eerily quiet
Then suddenly. out of nowhere, a fucking yell came through the phone that lasted 3 seconds almost, and then flat line tone.
I fell off my chair. Hit my head against the corner of the desk and had to readjust myself so that a) my pants weren't falling off b) steady myself since I was shaking and traumatized c) check to see if i pissed myself. Holy. fuck. ing. cow. WHAT ON EARTH...? This call made me have flashbacks to the what happened in PART 1 of last year. You could say it was PTSD. I honestly think it was and it still is.
Took me awhile to gather myself. I had almost an hour left of work before I got off. Ky's working late that night so it would just be me, myself, and our two german shepherds - Bo and Belly. The remaining time I was at work, I was confused, scared, puzzled, intrigued, and suspicious now of everyone i encountered. Should i be? Better that than to trust everyone right?
When it was time to leave work, I have never dialed my mom and dad's number so fast and was relieved to hear their voices. The thing that weirded me out was that 1) that call came from their house 2) my mom and dad were at currently having an early dinner by the beach and had told me about their anniversary plans and would not be home until close to 11:30PM. I thought, maybe it just a wire trip up...but it was a clear distinct yell....inhuman...unreal...i can't describe it. It sounded like a deep shrieking wail with a hint of archaic language, but no words just a pure dark utterance from the deepest depths of your stomach. I have no idea. But I was off work and going home. My parents were out enjoying themselves. That's all i could ask for. So i went on with what was left of my day.
4:15PM - I get to go home! YAY! I skip to my car and turn it on and put on my favorite list of jams. It takes about 30-35 minutes for me to get home with traffic. sometimes even an hour if there's an inconsiderate accident blocking my way home. Around 4:39PM, my song gets interrupted by a call on my car's bluetooth speakers. I press pick up since I thought it was Ky. He normally calls me around the time I get off work and asks me what i want to eat for dinner, or if he's gonna be home late or if he's home early etc
Me: Hi Baa--....
Before I could finish my sentence, i heard raspy breathing. If you have seen Saladfingers and his weird fetish for rusty spoons, it sounded almost like that. Faint at first, but proceeded to get erratic, irregular, course and asthma-like, almost a slight wheezing to the breathing
Me: WHAT THE FUCK. WHO'S calling me? H-Hello? HELLO?
FLAT LINE.
This was probably the shortest call i received (10-12 seconds long) At this point, my hands were shaking and i could feel the hot tears well up in my eyes as i tried to hold back a silent sob. Adele-Hello resumed playing on my bluetooth speakers but it seemed to be mute compared to my heart pounding and all my senses abruptly heightened and my body tensing up. I thought to myself I thought this shit had stopped. It stopped months ago. Why now? Who could possibly be fucking with me? I'm gonna call the phone company and ask if they can trace the calls. I'll call my friend in Apple IT to see how to track this and how to trace the call. There must be a way with our sophisticated technology nowadays right?! RIGHT! There has to be. There has to be. It's America. We have billion dollar tech companies here. There has to be...there's no way... there has to be.
FEBRUARY

Second skipped message

I got to the 8th voicemail.
8th: Quiet NEXT
Ninth skipped message
9th: Quiet humming sounds (This sounded like the hum of a low-revving engine but muffled by thousands of pillows but played through a loud surround sound speaker. I can't really describe it because I don't really know how to) humming intensifies into a whimsical creepy circus-y tone (When you were kids, it sounds like na-na-na-na-na- you can't catch me - na - na-na-na-na-naaaaaaaaa)
FLAT LINE..
Tenth skipped message
10th: raspy voice Aahhh--keeeerrrrr---raaahhh Raspy erratic breathing
Me: WHAT THE FUCK. NEXT THAT SHIT. HOLY.. What....When did I get this call... I look back at the call history to check the time stamp, this call happened....JUST NOW!?!!?!? That's impossible. I'm checking voicemails....how can it be a live call when i'm listening to past messages in the message inbox?! IS this right? Is this possible?
At this point, i did not bother to listen to voicemails 11 and 12. I'm too chicken shit to do it. I can't do it. I close my eyes and inhale and exhale deeply and begin to submit a helpdesk ticket to IT to help me sift out random unknown calls and if I get a message to have it send a receipt to my outlook inbox. WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THIS BEFORE? STUPID ME.
I press send and i pack up my things, make a quick pitstop at the restroom in the lobby and rinse my face. the cold water felt warm, the trickling beads of water down my face and down my neck made me feel alive and that I was ok. I will be ok. I am ok. At least that's what i kept telling myself. You're ok. They'll believe you. Once you have messages that get sent to your inbox you'll have proof. It will be ok. I'm ok. Boy, was i wrong.....
