Jun 8 05: tip for the day
Today brought the confirmation of a long-held theory of mine: When you get a cell phone, put an entry in its address book with your home number, and file it under “Home.”
That way, when you’re on your way to an appointment at an ungodly hour of the morning and your phone slithers unnoticed from your pocket and you accidentally leave it on the seat of the cab and it takes you four hours to wonder ‘hey, where’s my phone?’, and you have to go home at lunch to (a) look for the phone among the detritus of your desk where you think you must have left it—because your dad’s in town and will be calling you at that number later—and (b) you have to get your laundry to the laundromat because you don’t have another clean pair of shorts to your name, the cab company may suddenly call you at home while you’re there, and a kind-hearted cabbie may meet you in front of your place of work shortly thereafter with your phone in his hand, thereby affirming your faith in humanity.
