How I Lost My Cell Phone

This ain't your "dropped it down the toilet" story. At least it would've been fetchable if it had.

It all started Friday morning. With the inspection and all, I thought it would be smart to lock up my stuff and put the number not anywhere in the room but in the booklet in my shirt pocket. The inspection people showed up whilst I was there, however, so there really was no reason. And, they gave me an 'F' for the floor because apparently I didn't vacuum, when I did - they are so anal, I swear. xP

Well, today I thought it would also be smart to put my cell phone in my shirt pocket, so I wouldn't have to worry about it possibly slipping out of my pants pocket.

I was on my trash run. Halfway across the parking lot to the dumpster, I realize that the dumpster has vanished. How, I don't know. It's a compactor - with those big metal walls to crush the garbage, and you really wouldn't think that this thing could get up and leave, but it apparently did.

The worst mistake came when I decided I wasn't about to travel all the way to Toontown to throw out my trash. I decided to use the AVAC at Cosmic Rae's instead.

For those of you who do not know what an AVAC is - it's a big scary tube that you throw garbage down, and eventually it sucks it all down to gods-know-where.

So yeah! I had my most favorite run of all - Astro. :P I had to go up to the Astro Orbiter and collect the bags of garbage. You can't put bags down the AVAC. So ... I went to empty the bags into the AVAC ...

I completely forgot that one bag was inside another bag because the stupid bag would not stop leaking.

And so, I took the stick, thinking I was going to make the park implode or something, and leant over, proceeding to take the bag out of the AVAC, even though it was ways aways down.

Aaaand ... you guessed it. The stuff in my shirt pocket fell into the AVAC. Most importantly my CELL PHONE! Which I really don't love in any way shape or form, but tis my only means of communication ...

I frantically called the Manager and he came to help. We wound up getting a long picker stick, and we PICKED IT UP TWICE!!! But it fell back down. :P It was actually kinda funny, despite my distress ... at one point, we sent a guy to get a flashlight, only to find out that the batteries were dead. x__x

Eventually, it got pushed too far down, and I couldn't see it anymore. I had to let it go. BUT we did get the stupid bag out of the AVAC. :P It was ripped, but it was out.

I just got someone about an hour ago to clip my combination lock, because I'd locked EVERY sort of valuable items in there, including my laptop.

I'm getting a new phone on either Monday or Tuesday. But still ... it was hell. I'm so far away from home, and I just lost my one constant form of communication.

Thankfully I had insurance. :D

This is definitely something I'll be telling my grandchildren one day. xD
