Catch-22

Today I forgot my cell phone.


+1, no electronic leash to hold me down.


-1, no electronic leash to keep me in the loop or hear from the boy when he gets home from school.


+1, you can survive without a cell phone, like we did ten years ago.  Maybe fifteen.


-1, you become really neurotic being out of the loop.


 


Damn you, instant gratification!  I don't even have a beeper for backup! 


I gotta go home soon.  There could be a roving gang of rabid circus monkeys destroying my house and I'd be oblivious.  Who's gonna tell the kid to grab the video camera?

see obviously you haven't been doing your parenting properly:\r \r Rule#1: if there are rabid mokeys get the camera first, save any siblings/old people later! \r \r Geez this is the next generation we are talking about , ya gotta do your job right ;-)\r \r (just kididng, your kid sounds responsible enough to tape the whole thing!)\r \r

I like to \"forget\" my cell phone in places where I can't be pestered by that noise it sometimes makes. I think it's called \"ringing\" or some such... Whatever that noise is, I don't like it..\r \r :D

Pfft! I don't even own a cell phone. My employer gave me a phone for work, but if I'm not on-shift or on-call the thing is off. \r \r I just tell people to call the land-line and leave a message or send an email.
