Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know that I've ever actually eaten veal, other than parm, which eh. Raw beef I am ALL OVER.

I just went through the whole process of setting up my work voicemail, only to discover that the message I had was a wrong number. Ah well. At least it's done now.

And I finally have my cell phone ringer loud enough that I can hear it outside, which makes it really embarassing when it rings inside.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I might settle for switching my no-I-was-just-ten-feet-away-not-screening embarassment for yours.

Of course, the times when I switch the ringer off and forget to switch it back on are only my fault.

Yeah, I do that too. Eh.

Call it carpaccio, think of it like (extra) rare roast beef, and it's not so bad.

I always have my phone on vibrate, so if I can't hear it, chances are I'll notice my bum buzzing.

People using their cellphones as primary lines is becoming more and more popular. But my land line rings loudly, even if it were just the one unit (I have three, all told), and has a red flashing light that means I can tell if I have messages from really far away.

My cellphone, on the other hand, was purchased explicitly for its smallness, so it's tucked in the side pocket of my main bag, where I can't feel it vibrate unless it's on my lap (quick break for Wonderfalls flash), and I just about never remember to check messages unless I'm plugging it in to recharge.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Mine warbles at me in a different tone than a regular ring if I have messages.

When it's ringing for the next call, or does it burp intermittently until it gets your attention?

burp intermittently until it gets your attention?

oh, how I hate that. at my old job, the guy in the office next to mine never answered his cell phone/checked his messages/took his phone with him. one day, he left it in his office on "loud" and it blurped every 30 seconds with a message. Which I could hear. In my office with the door closed. I finally made the janitor let me into his office so that I could turn it off. I was kind enough to leave a note.
