Open Question: Am I being paranoid or does my coworker know about my private life troubles?
Key players:
The woman I sit right next to = Katie
The coworker I went out with = Trevor
The coworker in I’m asking YOU about= Hank
The coworker whose cell phone was in question = Vincent
*names made up*
I’ve been w/ the company for 15 months. Everyone else involved has been there longer. I do not fit in. I don’t have confrontations or disputes with anyone, but I am just socially awkward and don’t have friends. Not very many people talk to me.
I dated Trevor briefly last winter. It didn’t end very well. We’re okay now, but I don’t think he feels too comfortable having me around the office, even though I was sure to keep all unpleasantries outside the office. Trevor and Hank are kind of good friends, but not besties.
Hank and I talk a little bit, but not a whole lot… He is a techie..his job is to make sure all the other employee’s internet is up and working.
I got in a little trouble recently over some things I did with an ex I dated before Trevor. Trevor was aware that this breakup was very nasty. So was Katie. I told them that my ex and I were doing mean things to each other.
About 3 months ago I was questioned by a police officer about some incidents allegedly related to my ex (NOT the one I work with, the one from outside the office…) I let Katie know that I may encounter some legal troubles soon and my leave or lose my job. I was not more specific than that. The officer who questioned me accused me of doing some things on the computer in the way of harassment and said I would be charged. Although, my lawyer at this point thinks they decided not to press charges otherwise we would’ve heard by now. Not sure.
My laptop at home was not taken, nor was my computer at work. IT (the technology department at work,) never questioned me on it. The only thing a little out of the ordinary was that they did a remote update on my computer a couple of weeks ago, but Katie said that’s normal. ***I HAVE NO WAY OF REAL REASON TO BELIEVE THAT HANK OR TREVOR OR ANYONE HIGH UP AT WORK WERE EVER MADE AWARE THAT I WAS QUESTIONED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.***
Hank is a little weird w/ me. He invited me to happy hour once right in front of Trevor, and that was several months ago, closer to the time that things were rocky w/ Trevor and I. So maybe he hasn’t been told that I’m a crazy Bch. However, he’s not overly friendly w/ me..for instance, just yesterday he came up to Katie’s side of our desk and said to her, “Not sure if you like Wendy’s or not, but here you go, maybe you can use some of these” and handed her an entire book of coupons. He could’ve easily divided them and given some to each of us. See what I mean? Just little things like that that let me know I’m not “in the loop.”
Today a client called and asked for Vincent’s phone number. Vincent was out of the office on company business. On our out of office forms, there is a place for a “number you can reach me” and I noticed last spring that Vince had the number, “212-RingVin” and I laughed bc I wasn’t sure if it was a joke or not…but then again, that’s not really Vincent’s sense of humor. So I remembered that and provided that number to the client over the phone. Katie heard me saying this on the phone and was like, “whattt??? is that true??” I told her where I got it from. A few hours later, she laughed about it again and told me to call Hank (Vincent’s partner,) and ask him if that’s really Vincent’s number. So I did. The convo pretty much went like this:
Me: hey, Vincent, it’s Sabrina in Reception
Vincent: heyyy!
Me: How are you? Does Vincent have a number he can be reached off premise? [Katie and I are kind of giggling bc it's silly]
Vincent: Yes [eagerly] I can give you his cell phone number….is this for a client, or… [becoming a little more hesitant...]
Me: Well, yeah…
Vincent: …Is it..a telemarketer or something? I just don’t want to give his number to like a telemarketer and have him be harassed….
Me: Well Katie and I were just wondering if the number on his out of office sheet is his real number or if it’s a joke.. is his cell phone number 212-RingVin..like spelled out? [giggling]
Vincent: …Yeah…….that…might be a joke…..
Am I paranoid or is it weird that he became hesitant to just give me our coworker’s number?

Open Question: Several questions regarding the ascent of Mont Blanc in the summer?
Hello,
I’m going to climb Mont Blanc in July and I’ve read many articles regarding the ascent but I still have a few punctual questions. I’d appreciate if anyone (hopefully with experience on Mont Blanc) could provide me some answers to the questions below.
1. What should be the maximum weight for my rucksack?
2. What kind of rucksack should I bring with me? I understand that one of 40 – 45 liters is recommended, but what brand, what features should it have? I’d appreciate if I could get a few links to some rucksacks that are recommended for this ascent – preferably from http://www.decathlon.com/index.htm (since a have a few stores next to me)
3. Why do I need an ice axe if I am going to use the trekking poles? (considering both of my hand will be occupied with the ski poles)
4. Do I need (or is it recommended) to bring any Primus stove? (I assume it might be necessary to melt the ice or prepare some soups)
5. Are there any (officially) marked trails on the track? As far as I’ve seen in the pictures, the only trails that you have are those that are left behind by the people that climbed before you. So how can you know you are on the right track?
6. I’m going to climb together with 2 friends. How long should the rope be between each of us?
7. Do I need to bring two ropes? I understand a short one (max. 3 meters) is required for Grand Couloir and another one (longer) is required when passing by crevasses.
8. Can you point me to any good graphical guide that shows how the rope should be attached to the harness (and further on to the rest of the climbers)?
9. Is there a good (or enough for emergency) cell phone reception during the whole ascent to the summit?
10. Should I take a thermos or is it ok to bring just a regular plastic water container?
11. We’re going to take the popular route (Voie Royale, starting from Saint Gervais les Bains) – is there any webpage where I can find a detailed time plan for this route? (eg: leaving Saint Gervais les Bains at 09:00, traveling with Tramway du Mont Blanc for half an hour, arriving at Nid d’Aigle at 09:30 etc). I found similar information on the internet, but I didn’t find any article that describes in detail the time frame. I know this may be too much to ask, but maybe for someone who climbed Mont Blanc and kept a journal it’s an easy question.
12. What’s the best way to get to Chamonix/Saint Gervais les Bains? As far as I know I understand that I should take the plane to Lyon and then travel by train to Chamonix. Are there any better alternatives?
13. I understood that it’s not necessary to bring a sleeping bag (considering you are going to sleep in the huts). Is this true?
14. I have Petzl head torch with 3 leds powered by 3 AAA batteries. Considering that we are am going to climb by night (the last part of ascent, to the summit) is this head torch ok?
Thank you.

Open Question: What is the difference between an UNAVAILABLE and Private Number showing up on my cell phone?
I have been receiving an UNAVAILABLE phone number on my cell phone for about 2 weeks now, any time of day during the whole week.
I downloaded and purchased the TRAPCALL app onto my sprint phone to unscramble blocked numbers. I had several friends call me from their Blocked cell phone numbers and the app unscrambled the “blocked/private number” and told me their cell phone number and names (those with land lines). And the app worked.
I got another UNAVAILABLE number last night but it only showed up as unavailable, and it was not able to be unscrambled. This Unavailable number calls me often , and its harassing and reason for the app. My sprint carrier says they cant trace unavailable or blocked numbers and the police told me to use *57 for a Verizon trace, but that does not work.
