phantom phone
You may have heard of phantom limb syndrome, but I have a little syndrome of my own that has to do with my cell phone. I don't know if it is that I haven't made special ringers or if it is just that I love to have a connection with family, friends, or well anyone that wants to call me, but I think that I hear my phone ringing randomly throughout the day. Oh and it has not. So then I am just really disappointed, and buggged that I thought I heard it ring.
It all started when I worked the early morning shift for Einstein Bagels, mostly because of the days that I would have off when my phone would ring due to things like the alarm going off and lame ADT called, or someone forgot that they worked, or no baker and so on, I would have a hard time getting back to sleep after answering the phone because I would think that I heard it ringing again. Well over the years it has just become something that I live with. Lately things have been even more interesting because of the iphone, when you get a message, text or email a certain little chime will go off, and it is the same for all the phones, so I hear either mine or James' and in my mind I wonder was that my phone or was it for James, or do I really just want someone to email me?
The truth of the matter is I think that I just need to get out more. Maybe if I wasn't so dependant on that being such an important part of entertainment for myself throughout the day I might not be quite so...attached to it? Maybe, and maybe not, I don't really know. Oh and there is my phone now, or was it?

oh Lonna, the same thing happens to me ALL the time and now instead of hearing my phone, I hear a phantom baby crying... it's the WORST!
I to hear my phone ring, when it isn't really ringing. My brain likes to play tricks on me.
