Where's my baby?

So it's 8pm CST and I'm still at work. It's not all bad, though. I ended up leaving at 6pm to go to dinner at a very good italian place nearby. The tiramisu was to die for! After that Kelly (coworker/friend/drinking buddy) and I went to a local nursery to buy plants for our new offices... I figure that I have a corner office with plenty of windows, so I might as well take advantage of it. Pretty soon I plan to have a full-scale rain forest complete with it's own ecosystem and rare species.

Being that I'm at work and I have a phone at my desk, I try to give Janine a call. The phone just keeps ringing and ringing. No message machine, no nothing. Just ringing. I'm thinking that there's a power outage, 'cause otherwise the machine would have picked up.

So, the question of the hour - "Where's my baby?"

If you say it like Ralph Wiggam, it's funnier.


UPDATE

So my phone tells me I have a voicemail. It's Janine confirming what I thought the problem was - power outage. It affects all of two blocks and has done so since 4pm. Earliest it'll be turned back on is midnight. Good luck waking up tomorrow, cutie!

The bad news - both phones in her apartment are wireless... i.e. she can't use either of them. I think I know what else I'll be buying you for Christmas, Tink - a land-line phone that works in power outages!

You should buy her a UPS battery backup. Then she'll have a wireless phone no matter what happens.

A UPS backup? You mean the mailman comes by with a generator?
