Mary, queen of cats

the day-to-day of a grey, furry thing

Mary Saves the Phone

I recently got a new Samsung U700 cellphone, which of course is not really such a good thing. I am a scatter brain and I have a tendency to forget things in places.

And so it was this week that I went to our copier/scanner machine at the office (which happens to be on the third floor and I work on the first floor). I had my cell in my hand and trying to operate the big scanning contraption turned out to be a bit of a hassle while trying to hold on to a cellphone. Thus I placed the cellphone on the floor by my feet, making a mental note not to forget it.

A while later I received a phone call from a colleague asking me whether I was interested in buying a phone. I informed him that I recently got a new phone but thanks anyway. My colleague was persistent. I decided to indulge him and asked him what kind of phone and how much.

He said it was a Samsung and it came in a camouflage sock.

It hit me like a ton of bricks: I forgot my phone at the scanning copier machine thing, on the floor.

I went to the third floor to collect my phone and asked my colleague how he knew it was my phone.

His answer? “The cat gave it away”. (I have a picture of Mary on my phone).

So all you cat lovers out there – it pays to have a picture of your cat on your phone!
