Cell phone phunnies part II
So, the cell phone that I brought to NY isn't the one I bought. Because that one, despite vociferous promises to the contrary, arrived in Boston at the same time I arrived here. (So much for ordering by phone to get a better deal.)
I posted about this on Facebook, and one of the Fabulous Bureaucrats bailed me out with a loan of her husband's never-used cell phone. Whew! I thought I was just bitching, turns out I was crowdsourcing. I love Facebook.
Anyway, one of my cousins wrote in response to my I-have-no-phone panic post, "At least you don't have to worry about your new phone ringing while on the set of the Today Show." Which I thought was hilarious. And really, would that be a YouTube sensation or what? "Etiquette columnist's cell phone goes off on live TV." Especially if I answered it. "Hold that thought, Hoda--I have to take this."
