I hate the idea of having a home phone. I don't have any real use for it anymore. Long distance is a thing of the past, and who the hell is home long enough to actually be reached?
With all my phone equity placed in my cell phone, it doesn't exactly bode well if said phone is ever misplaced.
After a night out (surprise), and getting a ride home from a friend, I proceeded to my apartment like usual. As I got in the elevator, I did the usual slightly OCD pocket check. Wallet? Check. Keys? Check. Phone? Fuck.
Now, with no phone, I find myself in a pickle. How do I reach said friend and inform them that apparently my phone is now taking residence in their car? It's not like I can call them and let them know.
So, after reaching my apartment, I tried a few things, including, but not limited to, screaming, cussing, and using the internet to text message both my phone, and my friend's. After a while, I gave up, and went to bed.
Luckily, the following morning, my friend figured it out and was able to drop it off before work.
It just goes to show...regardless of how well connected you might feel, it all goes away rather fast if you're too drunk to remember where you put your "connection"...
