What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today? - Page 32

I'm navigationally challenged today. Granted, the stage was crowded and navigating was something of a challenge, but still. My brain was definitely "off" today.

I sent two texts meant for Susan to my boss today.

Thankfully, it wasn't anything horrible.

But, oh what could have been...

I'm not sure how that speaks to how you feel about your boss, or about Susan, that you'd confuse the two.

But, glad you found your phone. Even if it did almost get you fired.

The I did an email faux pas classic, the "Reply to All". No clue as to why I would have hit reply to all, but now everyone knows my company cell phone choice with Verizon.

Mwah, mwah, mwaaahhh....

I thought I lost my cell phone earlier today.

I had taken it with me to the restroom (to play a game - no phone calls in the potty) and apparently left it there. When I realized I had done this, I checked with both the management office (which is on the same floor) and security (neither had it). I also tried to call the phone a couple of times but no one answered.

I used the "Find My iPhone" feature (anyone with an iPhone should have this in place - if not, do so now) to try to locate my phone. When it came up on a map, it showed the phone being on a street that is a mile or so away. What I didn't realize at the time was that what it was showing me was the center of a very large circle of where the phone was - probably about a mile+ radius around that point.

While I was looking at the "Find my iPhone" map, I saw that one of the options (besides locking my phone and wiping my phone, the latter of which was what I was getting ready to do) was to send a message to the phone, which I did (and apparently it plays a really annoying sound at the same time).

Well, this got the person's attention (where apparently the two calls I made to the phone did not) and they called immediately. Someone from another office had picked it up and gave it to their receptionist who was planning on giving it to security on their way out to lunch. Problem solved.

What I was most pissed about was the possibility of having to replace my iPhone before the G5s came out.

Another Stpid thing...

I had been holding off on this one until I knew how things would work out (which they did). I will get the what-could-have-been-terrible-news out of the way first. Spoilerized in case you want to skip it.

Spoiler:

Last Friday morning, when I was feeding everyone, I found the female (Karma) on the bottom of her cage and she was black (not a good sign). I honestly thought we had lost her as she didn't move at all for a couple of minutes after I picked her up and even then, it was barely perceptible. I will state right now that she will be fine (otherwise I wouldn't be posting this); however, Friday morning, I honestly did not think she would make it.

So why is this in the "What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today?" thread? Because Susan sent me a text letting me know she was on the way to the vet.

And I asked her if Karma was still alive.

Did I think Susan be taking a dead animal to the vet?

Glad the little girl will make it.

If it makes you feel better, I probably would have asked the same thing....

I accidentally left the oven on all last night.

I've left the gas stove on. Thankfully there was nothing on the stove.

I will get the what-could-have-been-terrible-news out of the way first. Spoilerized in case you want to skip it. Spoiler: Two weeks ago, both of our Chameleons had issues which caused us to take them to the vet; the male had some spots on his back that we were concerned about and the female slit her own throat (we're pretty sure it was her typical clumsiness and not an attempted suicide). The spots on the male turned out to be normal and non-lethal (and pretty innocuous), but the vet found an abscess in his mouth which normally wouldn't be caught until it was too late - thankfully we caught it early and could do something about it. For the female, she got a couple of stitches. Last Friday morning, when I was feeding everyone, I found the female (Karma) on the bottom of her cage and she was black (not a good sign). I honestly thought we had lost her as she didn't move at all for a couple of minutes after I picked her up and even then, it was barely perceptible.
