I have this evil streak in me sometimes. My wife no longer has access to a computer in order to chat with me via the Yahoo IM. After spending time talking to her this weekend by her using prepaid phone cards, I decided I had had enough of that. The connection quality was always poor and it was getting expensive at $5 in US dollars per card when each card was only good for 40 minutes or so.
Last night, I installed Skype, signed up for a month of their Skypeout unlimited country plan (up to 10,000 minutes) for a paltry amount of EUR 3.95 and called my wife when I knew she'd be awake. My time is 15 hours ahead of hers, so it's 1 am here when it's 10 am the previous day there.
Scaring her wasn't what I intended, but that's what happened. She totally freaked out because the audio was crystal clear, she didn't have the number programmed into the cell phone, and she wasn't expecting me to call her. Actually, I just wanted to surprise her. She hung up on me two times before she realized it was me. Am I evil or what?
