Queen B leaves her Treo in the Office

Last week, when Queen B was on-call (and a major and complex upgrade was being completed) she left her Treo at the office. Unfortunately, she was in such a hurry to leave the office she also left her badge. This resulted in no way for her to get back in to retrieve the Treo. (I would so die) After two hours, she was having cold sweats and clammy hands. After four hours she was imagining her foot was vibrating. After 24 hours she felt completely depressed and unloved from the lack of text messages and emails.

Mr Treo (as Queen B calls it) was sitting way up on top of the book shelf in her cube. It is sitting away from her desk because it causes constant interference with her land land. I found this to be quite interesting because I never had interference from my Treo but I have it constantly with my new Blackberry. hmm.

I have to quote the Queen here because at the end of this she asks a question and now she can rest assured that I was silently asking the very same question as I was reading the following synopsis. (Queen B is so in tune with my thought processes, how crazy)

My normal routine is to check in with Mr Treo when I’m getting ready in the morning, but I had the thought that I would actually have to do the following to access email…. (1) power up laptop (2) login (3) open Internet Explorer (4) open VPN (5) login to VPN (6) open Outlook. That is a lot to do to check email!!! BTW, if you’re wondering about step 3, for some reason VPN won’t let me login without having hit a web site first. Yeah, that’s a feature, I’m sure.

So, as the weekend progressed our good friend's withdrawal symptoms were fewer and fewer. Eventually, she stopped feeling foot vibrations, blood pressure returned to whatever normal is and the feeling of depression and anxiety somewhat subsided.

Now for two big questions:

(1) Does anybody know who Queen B is?
(2) Why did she think her foot was vibrating?
