Forgetful Jones

Morning people...Okey here again.

Seriously speaking, what would we do without our mobile phones?

Sometimes i just don't understand myself anymore. How can you wake up by 5.00 am, brush, shower, dress up without any drama,get prepared to leave the house early in order to avoid traffic, get into Susie and drive off without any stress... only to pass third mainland happily, get to Osborne and find out that i've left all my phones back in the house.

Its baffling.

I debated several times whether to just find where to turn and start heading back. Then i consider just how bad the traffic will be later on coupled with the fact that i have roughly about 10 litres of black market fuel in my tank which i managed to scrape by with yesterday. I'm sooo mad at myself, i literally don't know what to do.
So i say to myself, fuck it, you can survive one day without your phones right?

I continue on to the office only for my mind to start bringing up theories of who might be trying to reach me now and all the messages i was going to miss!!...i almost start panicking again and nearly turn Susie back. But once again i steel my resolve and banish all negative thoughts on whether i can actually stay away from my phones for a day.

I drive on and now i'm on Lekki Expressway when i notice that Oando filling station is selling fuel (as always) with virtually nobody in the station!!! Sharp sharp, i drive in there and thank my stars that i have my ATM card with me. I fill Susie's tanks (a record for me) and drive out. I'm so happy to have enough fuel that instantly my mind starts to drift to whom i can call up to spend a pleasant friday night with and where to hang out. Then i remember my phone-less situation and my mind drops!! For all i know, Zee could be trying to reach me right now or how will i be able to get in touch with anyone!!!! AAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!!.

It's so tempting to just turn back and head back home only for my sensible minion to remind me that i will most likely regret making that sort of decision. What with Lagos traffic and all the attendant stress of being late to work and all. *sigh*. I'll just have to take the jonesing like a man and survive somehow.

Please tell me o...how did we survive before we had mobile phones and what does it tell of the quality of our lives now that we cannot stay away from the accursed things???
