So, lately I've been one of those "cell phone" people that I hate so much. You know..... the ones who carry the darned thing around everywhere? It started when my uncle was sick and I wanted my aunt to be able to reach me and then I kept doing it because of some things I'm doing outside work that require immediate attention once in a while. But I keep it on vibrate during the day because I hate it when I'm in meetings and people's phones ring!

So I usually don't have pants pockets but have on a light jacket with pockets in the front because it's cold inside. The other day it was hot in here, so I stuffed the phone into my bra against my chest. It's a small KRAZR phone so you can barely see it. Then the air conditioning kicked in so I put on my jacket.

When I went to leave for lunch, I couldn't find my phone. Looked everywhere. So I'm in our lab, frantic, and my boss and coworkers are helping me look and one of them says "I'll just call you and we'll hear it ring." He dials and I started cracking up and said, "Oh, I know where it is!" and they all asked where, so while I turned beet red, I reached into my shirt and pulled it out.

My boss now says, "Is that a cell phone in your bra, or are you just happy to see me?" on a regular basis.

I'm sure someone from the outside would consider that harrassment, but I just htink it's hilarious. My faux pas turns into a company joke!

ROTFLMBO!!!!


Oh my!... I can see it now.


I just put mine in my back pocket..... usually, when I do, I have on jeans or something and I need my hands, but not a purse, etc.

And the weirdest part is that you can't REALLY see the darned thing when it's there! It just kind of lays against my chest and takes up space, which is why I barely notice that it's there.

I hate that thing.

BUT.......... I hate it more when people are walking around a public place talking as if they're in their bedroom alone. My Mom and I have started joining into conversations....

Stranger on phone, "Oh, girl, I can't WAIT to see those bridesmaids dresses! I'll bet they're ugly!"

Mom to stranger on phone, "Oh, I'll bet you're right. She has the worst taste I've ever seen, wouldn't you say Cal?"

Me to Mom, "Oh yeah."

Me to stranger, "Are you bringing a guest?"

That is awesome! I'm giggling just thinking about it.

Thanks for sharing. I needed a laugh today.

Thanks for the laugh. They have jackets with cell phone pockets - a bra with a cell phone pocket? Probably be out in the market in the near future. Should patent that idea.

A bra with a cell phone pocket - you'd make millions!

Okay, y'all heard the bra with a cell phone pocket here first!!

As for the lab.... I'm a mad scientist! Completely and utterly mad. Wacko! Every bad thing you heard about scientists is wrapped up in me. *big smile*

Seriously. Scientist. Not mad. Spent about 8 years in big pharma until I got sick of politics, now I'm in a smaller company struggling to stay afloat and it's great! I feel happy and fulfilled, but I don't recommend the career to anyone!

Well then, if that's true, you'd fit in perfectly with the group in my lab... there are some crazy ones in our group... but we have fun most of the time.


I did the pharmaceutical thing too... for a ~really~ small, really old pharm company, but it really wasn't a good situation...


Now I'm working with water chemistry and pool and spa chemicals and such... figures since I could not be kept out of the water as a child...


and we did hear the bra cell phone pocket thing from you first... could you patent it?

*gasp* You're a scientist, too? A chemist? If so, I'm not sure we can be friends. Biologists and Chemists just don't mix.

Kidding.

But what's Karen doing with us?

Yep... sure am... scientist that is...


My background is in biology--degrees in Biology and Microbiology--but I work for a chemical company and am a chemist by their definition... so I'm one of those odd ones who is actually both... :)


I love it but it is a bit frustrating right now with all of the changes and such... not to mention it is our busy time of year, so it is just beyond crazy!
