A Bad Case of a Drowned Cell Phone

I have effectively put two phones out of commission within the space of two months. The first one just decided that it didn’t want to work for no apparent reason so I went back to the phone that I had about three years ago that liked to drop calls and had a few other glitches but it worked okay until my pocket decided that it had had enough of carrying the phone and ejected it right into the toilet never to live again. So…if you need to get in contact with me I have an email, a blog, and a facebook account that I check…occasionally. My plan on my cell-phone lets me get a new phone on Sept. 3 and now I am counting the days. If anyone has an old phone that they would let me borrow until then I would very much appreciate it :)

Somehow I think that I am supposed to learn a lesson from this. On Sunday the talks in Sacrament Meeting were on being too attached to technology. I like to think that I am not that attached, but I think that this experience is teaching me that I am a little too dependent on it. I didn’t think that I used it that much but I no longer know the time and it scares me to use my actual alarm clock as an alarm clock (plus it makes the most annoying noise to wake up to). I am afraid that the alarm won’t go off and consequently wake up every 20 minutes for hours before I need to wake up. I am still using technology to get this message to the world so maybe I am not learning as much of a lesson as I should.

Dilbert: I'm addicted to e-mail. My endorphins spike when I get a message. When there are no messages, loneliness and despair overcome me.
Dogbert: Have you tried sending e-mail to yourself?
Dilbert: We don't talk about that.
