Omfg, Recruiters!

I took my resume off monster when I landed this job because I am very happy where I am. Also, because I got a huge torrent of emails and phone calls from head hunters and I needed to thin out the herd a bit. I left my resume on my vanity domain because I'm a web developer and that's my "online portfolio" of sorts and freelance work abounds. Today a recruiter called me on my work line; totally catching me by surprise. The number isn't listed anywhere and I have never given it out to anyone except business contacts. I suppose he looked at my vanity domain, saw the current company I work for, and then called the front desk asking for my extension. On the one hand, it's flattering that someone would go to such lengths to seek me out. On the other hand, I don't appreciate calls at my current place of business for things like this. On the completely superfluous and euphemism-breaking third hand, I am very happy where I am and don't have any plans to leave.
