Yesterday morning, I was rushing around trying to get out the door and on my way to work, when I noticed I didn’t have my cell phone. I normally leave it in the downstairs bunker of tbbs WorldHQ, so went down to retrieve it. Nothing. Thinking I may have left it with my car keys, money clip, and other pocket items, I went upstairs and checked the dresser. Nada. OK, I had called SWMBO before leaving work the previous evening, so I checked the car. Bupkis. Hmm, maybe it’s in my coat pocket. Zilch. Briefcase? Dream on. By now, I was thinking that I had artlessly dropped the phone in the parking lot the previous evening.
Thinking quickly, I picked up the house phone and called my cell phone. The cell was ringing from downstairs; following the sound of the ringing, I discovered it on the floor, by a caster on the platform that houses the production iMac. I must have knocked it off its perch somehow. Anyhow, I found it, and was shortly on my way to work.
21st century technology is a Wonderful Thing.
