Phone Starts with Pee

Ever since cellphones have become mainstream, I have always heard stories about people dropping their cellphones in the toilet.  I always ask, "Why did you have your cellphone in the bathroom?  Do you talk on the phone while using the toilet?"  The answer I have always recieved has been, "No, don't be silly.  I only listen to my messages in the bathroom.  It's multi-tasking."
This past weekend a friend of mine broke the code of silence and told me that she talks on the cellphone while peeing.  While she was telling me this, her phone was turning itself on and taking pictures of random things because (guess what) it had been dropped in the toilet.

While this was on my mind yesterday, I went to a restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday.  When I went to the bathroom, I could hear the lady in the next stall talking loudly.  Either she was talking on the phone, or she was the most boring schizophrenic I have ever met. At any rate, I could see under the door her ankles and tell that her pants were down.  Another phone pee-er!

Short Story: Distraction

It was an office, not unlike any of the other offices around the city. There were windows, visible to the lucky few cubes on the ends of the rows. Then there was Vera's cube, situated next to the row of manager's offices. Today she was lucky, someone had left their door open and precious slant of sunlight escaped, warming her back and washing out half of her computer screen. "I never realized your hair was red," Tracy dumped a large stack of paper on her desk, "The florescent lights make everything look so soupy." "What is that?" she pointed at the stack of paper. Tracy only offered compliments when he wanted a favor. "I need this entered," he smiled, a dimple appearing in his cheek. "You have a secretary," Vera waved a freckled hand to her left, "Ask him." "He's sick," Tracy gave her puppy-dog eyes, batting his long dark eyelashes. Vera sighed and fought back a smile. Tracy was such a s...

Weirdest Hotel Ever

 I am beside myself with glee.  I really thought this weekend would be fun, but not that special sort of fun that makes me giggle like a child.   There is an abandoned mall inside this hotel.  This is not a drill.  Let’s back up for a minute.  I’m in Yakima at the Hilton Tapestry hotel, a place known for having Mason roots.  There is a tour you can take, but it’s only on weekdays, and I have already spent a night in a Shriner clown room*, so I’m good.   This hotel is labyrinthine.  The outside is a confusion of empty storefronts showcasing local art and no admittance doorways.  The garage is keycard access only.  The porte cochere is more of circular drive, with one part of the circle blocked by potted plants and a grouping of roped off chairs.  There is a patio with arched columns, gated with ornamental fencing, where an air conditioning unit is housed.  Walking around the hotel gives a disorienting feeling of always head...
