Well technovictim I played technostupid today. I recieved a lovely heartwarming text from my one and only (aka Scott who is currently out of town). I ventured out of the room for mere moments then returned to compose an appropriatly diabetic response when I noticed the black screen of death on my cell. Not to be undone I went through all of the well known steps of cell phone resucitation, plug into power to see if it needed a charge, pop the battery and count to five, pop the battery and the sim and count to five etc etc. Nothing. I was distraught. In a panic I sent an email to Scott letting him know that I was not being neglectful. My otherwise regular technological tributes would be forthcoming as soon as I fixed my *&@#% phone. I dealt with my day of educational exploits, guiding and subverting young minds. As soon as the day was done I was in Cingular central pleading for help. The first store was a franchise store. The tech went through the same steps I had that morning, pronounced the phone dead and told me to take it to a company store that could honor the warranty. I rushed to a company store. The tech went through the same steps again, smiled and handed it to me. The irritating little X with a head icon popped up and the phone was on again. The tech smiled at me as one smiles at an endearing moron while I shook my head turned and left ---- dialing Scott's number. Hell with them all, my phone was working and I had a call to make.

Allie,

Sorry I had not said hi before, but I can't reply to comments on cell :-\

Hi!! :-) ::waving::

I am with you--I am tied to my poor cell phone! No calls and messages I could ever need to make are as urgent as the ones I need to make when I cannot find the damned thing, or it is broken. :-)

And you are right...the stupid little orange guy is annoying as hell. Jack Splat, is it? ;-)
