A few weeks ago during one of his guest stints on WGN Radio, Dan Deibert brought up the fact that whenever he gets in a cab in Chicago the driver is always on a cell phone… which might explain why a number of cabbies aren’t the best drivers in the world, but that’s another story.

Today I noticed another pattern.

As most of you know, I’m a morning producer which means that I have to wake up before Al Roker and head into work at an hour when most people my age haven’t even gone to sleep yet (I wake up at about 3:30 every morning).

Amazingly every time I go into the building, the security guard is talking on her cell phone… at 4:30 in the morning! Who do you think she’s talking to?

Maybe I should sneak up on her one morning just to see if she’s actually saying anything when she doesn’t think anyone is around
