The Great Phone Phlush of 2013


Here's how it went down......

I was talking with one of my coworkers, Steph, on a Friday morning about pocket dialing people while my phone was in my back pocket.  Then for my final act, I was getting ready to leave work & stopped in the bathroom, with my bag & purse packed, my phone in m pocket, etc. Right before I entered the stall I had the thought.... "What if my phone falls out of my pocket & into the toilet?" But I brushed it off, sat down and my phone dropped into the toilet with a splash before I could do anything else. My next thought? "Dang it, that was a prompting!"

Since I have no home phone, & I'm on my parents cell phone plan for cheaper, I then tried to get a hold of one of them from my work phone since I would have no phone once I left work.... After m 3rd message to my mom, she picked up, told me she couldn't talk because she was in a meeting.... Oops!

But it all turned out OK. No amount of rice or drying could salvage my phone but my dad lent me his phone overnight, my roommate got me dinner @ Kneaders (hello, delicious!) and although my phone still worked great, I was due for an upgrade & had my new phone from Costco by the next day. Grateful for everyone's help!
