Confessions of an Addict
This is a true story:
I left the house like any other day. Late. I have 9 minutes to get to work if I'm going to make it on time. Technically, the drive is only 2 miles, but standing between me and an on time arrival are: 2 miles, significant construction on Santa Monica Blvd., 1 parking garage, and 2 elevators.
I'm sitting at Beverly Glen and Wilshire and panic strikes. I DON'T HAVE MY CEL PHONE! Granted, I know exactly where it is...sitting next to the tv charging. So, its not like its lost or stolen or anything horrid like that. Its sitting happily at home, charging.
Now, I have 7 minutes to try to get to work on time.
Do I turn back?
You do realise how stupid this is, right? I work 2 MILES FROM HOME. I have complete internet access and my work phone. If my car were to suddenly stop moving, I could easily walk home to call AAA.
Seriously, this is a problem.
Luckily, the light was long enough for me to work through all of this and off I went to work. Of course, I was late but not as late as I would have been had I run back to get my phone.
And people wonder why I name my phones things like crack; its my habbit.

Nooooo! Whatever will you DO without your phone that doesn't even work in your office and that nobody calls you on during the day anyway? Ahhhgghhh!
This coming from the person who called me on my cel day before yesterday while I was at work to get directions. And, you were the 2nd person this week to do just that.
See, I *do* get phonecalls on it during the day. And since caller id is the best invention EVER, I can see who's calling me. However, I will grant you that the length of the conversation is entirely up to the whim of the connection.
