Elephant Day
-
Dropped keys in car and had to stretch an contort to fish them out from under the seat, then, walking up the stirs with coffee, I took a bit of a misstep, lurching forward with associated mess. Meanwhile, just a bit later, Mrs. calls me on cell (flip phone) - which flipped out of my hands and into a nearby urinal. The phone model is discontinue ($20 LG B450) but can be had for $80. Aside from that, even if it starts to work again when it dries out, do I really want to put it up to my face? So far, I've navigated the last hour safely, but the day is still young and there's the trip home.

So... based on the procedures where I work: You should not be carrying liquids on the stair case; always maintain 3 points of contact. When using the restroom, concentrate on what you're doing; a phone call or text can wait.

Have you been off the planet for a few years? If so, where did you go and how long did it take? I'm still looking for a ride.

A very peaceful is to be had when you take out your phone and leave it on the desk, not just going to the toilet but lunch / tea breaks too. Young ones may not know this, but once upon a time this is how it was done ... not by choice, but by the limitations of technology ... and the world kept on spinning just fine without everyone being tethered to a stupid phone 24/7, in fact the world spun a lot smoother than now. Any important calls (definition of important should be much it matters to you, not the caller), you can see the number(s) that came in ... If the caller thinks it's urgent they will sure 1. call many times, 2. send a text or email, or 3 = 1 + 2. Really who gives a elephant: phones are tools to help us, not chains to bind us. Often weekends I'll go out without the stupid thing at all.
signature upgrading ... please wait.

Talking on the phone (to the love of your life) in the men's room? How gauche! X|
🐘 Actually, hardly a dozen people in the world have my cell number - and most calls, especially while trying to work out vacation plans, are from the Mrs. She rarely calls 'for nothing' - and I don't accept or send texts.🐘

Just a short trip to the bottom of the food chain should put things right with you, no?

Relevant because (1) I get few calls, and (2) I am expecting some particular business to be discussed, and (3) if she gets on the road I'll not be able to call back for a while, resulting in (4) her calling me back at what may have been an inopportune time. This is part of the reason I even brought the phone with me, today, instead of leaving it to quietly drain its battery.

I didn't drop my phone in the urinal... it can wait. If my wife calls, it waits.

Cancel the skydiving you had planned for the evening. I repeat: cancel it. DO IT.

Alright, I cracked a smile, but you should feel fortunate. Unless your clumsiness is an indication of something, it could have been much worse. You didn't drop your keys into the storm drain next to your car and you dropped a $20 phone into a urinal, not a $1,000 phone into the toilet. :cool:

Yes, that's right. I request immediate extraction. Which part of 'immediate' did you not understand? The natives are already making a fire under the pot and discussing how to properly cook me!
