Yes, I lost my cell phone.
You don’t think much of it until it happens to YOU. Most of us in this North American (and Global) society are wired in. I read a statistic that 85% of the adult population currently has a cell phone in North America! So what happens when you lose that phone; that connection…
Well it happened to me last night. I actually didn’t “lose” my phone, but mistakenly left it in my client’s car. I was signing an offer with them (in the back seat of their Vibe, outside the seller’s house at 10pm) when I took out my phone and left it on their back seat…. I realized it on my way home, and was immediately panic stricken. My phone (a Bell Blackberry unit) is literarily my life. As a Realtor, I have ALL my client’s information in it, my day-to-day itinerary and appointments, upcoming closings and more… and on a more personal note, I have family members/friends’ birthdays (and what I thought about getting them), what sort of trees we want to buy for our front-landscaping project, and what Hotel we’re staying at this summer in Paris.
So it’s 11pm, and I’m driving around to find a pay-phone to CALL my clients to see if my phone truly is in their back seat… too funny. I did finally get a hold of them, and got my life-line, I mean phone, back the next day, but for those 12 hours my whole routine and comfort level without my phone was very VERY strange. If this has happened to you, you might have an idea what I’m talking about.
