Just Supposed to Know


~Hamlet~
Carl returned to his old but new job this week.  On Thursday he called my office and I was unable to come to the phone.  But he left a message asking me to call him back, and said that there had been an incident at work, but he was okay.  Of course since 'worry' is my middle name, I was worried.  The problem with calling him back was that he hadn't given me his new work number.  Carl and I don't work to far from one another and just as a coincidence I noticed a helicopter overhead in his direction--which didn't help.  I did know that he wouldn't answer his cell phone because he's not allowed to bring it into the office--that didn't help either.  Carl finally called me about an hour later and told me what happened; two suspicious packages found in an unmarked, unattended van on the outside gate of the building where he works--Police and trucks everywhere....He asked why I didn't call him back.  I told him it was because I didn't have his office phone number.  Carl said it was the same number he'd always had (before he left on his 'year long assignment.')  Now I ask, how was I supposed to know that he would return to the same desk and have the same phone number?  I guess there are some things I'm just supposed to know...

  3. Glad every thing turned out ok.
    I would have been worried also getting a call like that and having no idea what the number may have been.
    I also don't think I would have remembered a number from a year ago unless it was programed into my cell phone which I never have on me.
    Guess I would have been in the same situation as you found yourself.
    Lovely picture of Toby.
    Have a great weekend.

  16. Wow, that's creepy about the truck and packages! Did you find out what they were? Good thing it turned out not to be too serious! It is always a bother to try and figure out what you're 'just supposed to know' though, isn't it?
