Ring Ring

When Jim, Maddie and I were working at Providence Hospital in Mobile, Alabama we often worked late. Our temporary work areas were in a large office that housed some of the hospital information systems staff, Ann, Joe and Sharon.

During the evening, one of us managed to knock the phone off Joe's desk. It was a standard tan desk phone. It exploded when it hit the floor. At first, there was dead silence from the three of us. Then we lost it. We laughed so hard we cried.

We used almost an entire roll of clear tape to put the pieces of the phone together. When we checked the phone, it still worked. We taped down the switch hook, put the phone back on Joe's desk and left for the night.
We wanted to be sure we got to the office early the next morning. We acted as if nothing had happened the night before. Joe arrived at his desk and noticed the phone. He asked what happened to the phone as we called his extension. The phone rang, Joe picked up the handset and said "hello". Since we had taped down the switch hook, the phone continued to ring. Joe said "hello" louder and louder.

By this time, the entire office was laughing out loud. We apologized to Joe for breaking the phone and for the practical joke. He took it all in stride.

Traveling with Jim and Maddie was never boring.
