I hate it when your only cell phone goes on the frits in the middle of your production work. You never realize how dependent you are with your cell phone until it shuts down on you. It reminds me of an interview Barbara Walters did with President Barack years ago. It was days before he was inaugurated for his first term. I'll never forget this interview.
She asked the President "How are you going to live without your Blackberry?"
The President laughed and said, "This is a problem."
I don't remember everything that he said, but I do recall how he would die if he didn't have it or if something bad happened to it. I would watch clips of him always on his Blackberry getting his work done. I thought it was a little ridiculous at the time because I wasn't dependent on technology. Now these days, I totally get it.
I was busy streaming Netflix and Hulu on my computer waiting to pay my cell phone bill to get my hotspot rebooted. I have a Chromebook and everything on this laptop operate via Wifi. So in a way, I'm dependent on this thing. One day, it stopped charging and then shut down. For three days, I had no cell phone.
I was out of my mind because I couldn't use my laptop either. So I patiently kept myself together and waited. I got my monthly payment and upgraded my phone. Now everything is back on track. I think now it's time I get myself a second cell phone. I'll apply for one of those free cell phones and handle backups. Always need emergency things.
