Just old or insane?

Who me???? hehehehehehehe

Russ and I were looking for the telephone (cordless) yesterday. After looking for over 5 minutes, guess where we found it?

Yep - on the hook.

Looked for my keys for 15 minutes this morning. They were in the door... left there from yesterday when I got home from work. Nice.
What is sad is that I am actually very organized and a neat freak... "obsessive compulsive" as DH calls it. Sometimes he calls me "Monica" as in the neurotic, cleaning machine, lable everything freak on Friends. But I lose EVERYTHING. If I were a pack rat or just flat out messy, I don't know what I would do. In fact, I am so anti-pack rat I often throw out things like CURRENT bills that we haven't paid. Hubby is my polar opposite. Clutter makes me chlosterphobic (sp?). :)

Texasgarden you sound like my hubby but lately I can't find anything because I misplaced it or HE had put it away. I lost my keys last Friday and was a few minutes late for work and don't you know it it was my day to be reviewed not a good start for my supervisor to be there when I finally arrived, But this is a very strange month for our school dist. since it is our review year and everything has to be just right for us not to be penalized and I have a new serving line that finally arrived at school today and so many men and no one knew what to do and how it was to be arranged so I had to have them redo it twice before they got it right..
It's suppose to be fall break and since I don't have my other employees I am suppose to have a easier time but not the case and after I finally got home today was so stressed and still have a ton of paperwork to do before the weekend so I know what I will be doing tonight till when ever..
Thanks for a sound off forum also and by the time Nov. 1 gets here I will be ready for the rubber room after all these gov. people come and the only stress reliever I have is my garden and it has rained for the last several days and more on the way so I guess that will be out too..

VS, that's why God made valium :-)

Karrie - Can't tell you how many times I've had to call my cell phone number to find my cell. And the because of DG, too! I come in, toss everything in a pile, and log into the computer before I do anything else. In the morning, if anything's not in "the pile", I am soooo in trouble!

Sounds familiar Sequee been there done that also, but I can't even remember to take my cell phone when I leave in the morning and had a flat yesterday and please don't laugh but I did not even know how to air it up and had to use the pay phone to call hubby which all he could say was if you can't air a tire you should not be driving, but isn't that what we have men for hehe..No I should know how to do all those little things but after all these years in my life I have always had my hubby or my sons have been so good to do all those things and I have never had to do them, I guess it is time to learn but can you train a old dog new trick???...
Rikerbear I think that is what I need but by thanksgiving it will all be over and a well deserved break so I just have to make it till then and this is a dry county so I will have to travel a little.(:
OK back to work it seems like with all our technology we could come up with a better way to do all this paperwork and even with the computer you write it all down and then add the data into the computer...

The cell phone incident sounds so familiar. Dear wife went golfing,took cell phone too,got home and no cell phone.Looked high and low,called golf course,others in party.Decided to call the cell phone number for it's present possessor and her golf bag answered.

oh yes, we know when our cell phones answer on someone's answering machine by accident, because it was in a pocket or purse, and a button got hit by accident. Poor person it calls on the other end..................

Most of you know I am/was a contractor. And, you won't relate, but I must own at least 30 nailsets because I never can find one. Same with utility knives. I think the elves get them.

Today I was chagning the locks on my new place. The new deadbolt didn't seat well because the hole was home-made and not well done. So, I started to put the old one back on for now... and I had JUST had all the parts in my hand 10 minutes before. Do you think I could find them? Of course not. Took 30 minutes, searching in 2 rooms... rooms devoid of anything but some tools I was using!

I had put them in the drawer with spare parts, LOL.

I HATE having to push the button on my phone base to find the handset... and usually it's within 3-5 feet, LOL.

I DON'T EVEN want to talk about who my cell phone called before I learned to lock the buttons!!

Well now ya gotta silly. :P

The other day my cell phone fell off my seat and everything else fell on top of it. Something must have hit a button and the phone called my boss who got to listen to me very boisterously singing along with the Beaver Brown Band. VERY embarrassing. (I was just about to do an encore when I heard a faint, "Janice, Janice, Janice" in the background...)

An old junior high chum and I write via e-mail still, and one time she wrote to tell me about their missing cell phone. Her husband was in a panic because he couldn't find it. They looked everywhere around their home. So they called it. They could hear it ringing, but because they have loft ceilings which cause sound to echo, could not pinpoint where the noise was coming from.

It turned out the phone was in his back pocket.

Russ was at his office one Saturday afternoon, working on his network of computers. He was laying on the floor hooking up wires, his cell phone was on. Apparently, while he was "cussing up a storm" his cell phone did a quick dial and his partner pretty much, for about a half an hour heard him swearing......... until he finally hung up, laughing.

I had a similar experience here, Karrie. My husband stopped off at a local restaurant for a quick lunch, and must have bumped the button on his cell phone. It was one of our few hot days around here, and he had worn shorts that morning. When our home phone rang, I picked it up and heard strange noises, heavy breathing... I almost hung up until I realized it was DH on the cell phone. I heard him say hello to the waitress, then I heard her shout, "Whooooeeee!!! Nice legs!" It's a small town, so I recognized her voice. I disconnected the line, waited a few seconds, then called him on his cell phone. I said, "So, Katie likes your legs!" Boy, that really threw him for a minute!

lol!!!! that's funny!

i have call waiting on my home phone. hubby tried to call home with cell phone. couldnt get through( or so he thought) so used company cell phone to call home. so talking to him on company phone call waiting goes off so i answer it keep saying hello no one answers ( hubby is on hold) so hang up. hubby says i kept hereing you trying to answer the other line is that normal i said no you arent supposed to hear anything. we talk and hang up.

hubby goes and tries to use his personal cell phone notices its connected to someone. finds out was connected to me at home while we are talking on other company phone. so the echo he heard was me through his own cell phone.'



i have to dial mine all the time too. sometimes though we have to go on a hunt for it because we cant hear it ring. the other day i left it out at the front gate. if i didnt lose it once a day i would think something is wrong.

hubby never loses his though .

Our Nokia phones both have a feature which will let you lock the keypad automatically after a specified period of inactivity. I have mine set for 5 minutes. I can still answer the phone when it's locked, but it keeps me from inadvertantly dialing. We did that a few times before having the phones automatically lock. I came home to find muffled messages on the answering machine, unknowingly called in from our own phones.

I now finally have learned how to lock the hey pad on my phone somehow it called home from work and I don't remember having it near me but the answering machine picked up other conversations in my office..and my son did that once to me when he was doing is military training before he left for Iraq, I could hear their drill Sargent so I assumed somehow he hit my button, I did not know they could have them when they were on drill duty..

OK waiting on part two I have loved this tread so much...

It's here: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/462834/

Okay, gotcha gw .. I do humbly 'thank you' for the re-direction ....

Dear wife just informed me that the problem is not forgetting where you left your keys,but not remembering what they go to.
