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!

Hmmmm. XH is a scientist, too.
He's not a very good one anymore, from what I hear. It's a small world out there and we all know someone else, much like the Kevin Bacon theory. Six degrees of separation!
Sweetie is a different beast than XH, but it's a definite plus that he undestands that sometimes I work late or go in on the weekends for a while!
