Lost cell phone ... RECOVERED

[Daniel Lovins <daniel.lovins@YALE.EDU>]

Well, that was amazing. About 5 minutes after I sent the message out on
yulib, Cha Chi from Circulation came walking into my work area holding
what looked my cell phone (and it was). Apparently, it had been at
Circulation all along, but the persons I'd spoken with at the desk just
didn't know exactly where. And the regular procedure for turning items in
to Security was not followed in this case, simple as a courtesy to me,
because they were expecting me to come get it!

In any event, thanks so much, Cha Chi. And thanks to the several others
of you who responded to my email, and made various suggestions.
