This morning I got to work, and promptly checked my pants pocket for my work cell phone... not there.

I always carry my cell in my pocket ... where the heck did I leave it now, I wondered.

I do have an issue where I get so much on my mind at work that I stop, set something down, and forget what I did with it... so I wondered where I'd set my phone down.

I thought maybe I'd left it in my car... but I checked, not there.

Maybe I left it at home? I don't think so, but maybe.

I grabbed a co-workers phone and called my number to see if I'd hear my phone ring (if I'd left it on the night before).

Sure enough... *riiiing riiiing* ... wtf... it sounded like it was coming from the file cabinet by my desk.

Why would it be in there?

I looked through all the file drawers. ... nothing.


I called my cell again... *riiiing riiiing* ... yeah... it's right here somewhere, right by my desk... I looked through all my desk drawers, under all the paper on my desk (my desk is a disaster area)... nothing.

Called again... *riiiing riiiing* ... is it in my garbage can? o_O I looked in there, digging through the garbage. Nope. Looked in my recycling box... nope.

By this time 2 of my co-workers are helping me look, wondering where the heck this damn phone is hiding... we all hear the ring, right by my desk somewhere... but can't pin-point it.

So I tried one more time *riiiing riiiing* .... wait a minute.

I give myself a pat-down.... and lo and behold... my cell phone IS in my pants pocket, just on the other (wrong) side.... Unsure

... much laughter was had.

Yeesh.
