I think my phone at work is messing with me.
Each time I would leave my desk, I would come back to what I refer to as the red light of death. Anyone who works in an office knows what I am talking about. That little LED light in the bottom corner of your phone which alerts you to the fact that there is a message waiting.
I maybe have two messages on my phone a day, and one of those is always from my mom.
Today I took 14 messages off my phone, and only one was from my mom.
The thing is, my phone barely rang while I was sitting at my desk. I even checked the ringer volume at one point, just to make sure it was actually working.
That damn red light is a thudding heart beneath the floorboards.

I loathe the red light of death. I HATE the vm system at my work. You are forced to listen to the ENTIRE message before you can delete it - if you don't you cannot erase the message and end the red light of doom. Also, I am sitting at my desk for hours and the phone never rings...and yet, messages appear!!!
Perhaps the Red Light appears first, and "summons" the message.
Same thing happens here.
I suggest taking shorter breaks. Try limiting them to an hour.
That should do it.
Where I work, you can actually send a message without calling. Perhaps your system does that and people leave messages intentionally?
