Reasons Everyone Needs a Cellphone, #2,384,759,423

Time: About an hour after I normally get picked up by Tim to carpool home

Me (to myself): Hm. It's now about an hour after I normally get picked up. I will call Tim and see what's going on. (dial dial dial)
Tim's Office Phone: I'm sorry, Tim is not available...
Me: (click) Ok. I will call the super-secret-bat-cave phone.
Person: Super-secret-bat-cave, J speaking
Me: Hi J, is Tim there?
J: Tim? No. He's long gone.
Me: Uuhhh. Are you sure?
J: Yeah.
Me: Well, that's a problem...I guess he left his wife at work. If you see him, will you have him call his wife?
J: Who?
Me: Tim.
J: Who's this?
Me: Beth. Tim's wife.
J: Tim Who?
Me: Tim-The-One-Who-Works-With-You-In-the-super-secret-bat-cave
J: Ok bye.

Sufficient to say, I was not left at work. But Tim may be getting a visit from the cell phone fairy.
