What did your phone just say?

Hi, my name is Bernice and I am addicted to my cell phone.

Actually, it isn't THAT bad. I am not a constant-texter, I am not always on it, I am just completely paranoid that someone important will call me with some Earth-shaking news, and I am going to miss it. I actually experience this phenomenon when the Lieutenant was in his accident. Not.Good.

So my phone is within my reach 98% of the time. (The other 2%, I am begging the Lieutenant to beep it so I can figure out just where the hell I left it last. I don't lose it, I just hide things from myself.) Generally, you will find my phone securely clipped to my hip, right next to my ginormous, stone-aged pager. (Yes, I am one of those... if I don't I end up searching for either one of them for at least an hour.) Wow, I am a bird-brain today... anyway, what I was trying to say was that often, I will forget to silence my phone while transporting. Granted I have one of those lovely buttons that immediately silences the ringing, but I got to thinking. What if I didn't? More importantly, what if I had a ring tone that was highly inappropriate.

Will and I were discussing which ring tones would be most ironic, yet inappropriate. We came up with the following...

"Keep bleeding Keep, keep bleeding love"
Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

"Had I known how to save a life"
How To Save a Life - The Fray

"Will you swear on your life, That no one will cry at my funeral?"
Life is Beautiful - SIXX AM

"Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you"
Under Pressure - David Bowie/Queen


That's all I have for now. My brain is fried and it is only Thursday. Feel free to add your own!

I was on a major trauma call with 3 medics and one of them was trying to intubate. I swear to God, this story is absolutely true, his phone started ringing and his ring tone was "You want a man with a slow hand...you want a man with an easy touch..." None of us could silence it because we were all covered in blood and his phone was in his pocket.

Ever since then I keep my ring tones to something that is okay to hear on a call!
