Of the phone.
It's been acting up for a long time, and I finally went to go have it looked at, the phone people told me how to reset it, I tried that, and for a long long long time... it stopped working. It was saying the sim card wasn't working, it couldn't find a network. So it just wasn't working and it was pissing me off, I phoned the 800 number and talked to the guy and he was talking about the sim card and how it's supposed to come out, and it wasn't, and it was making me angry and upset. I got off the phone, started bawling my eyes out. Now, to be fair, I am very tired and quite stressed, but it was just.. my phone wasn't working, and I didn't know what to do. I felt helpless. I felt disconnected from the world. And then bam, it started working again. And I realized how pathetic that is. If the phone not working makes me that upset, I should really re-think my priorities.
But I can say that now and sound all self-righteous because it's working now. If it was still broken, I would be more angry than this. BUT. This is just me saying that I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. We're all addicted to our phones. I mean, I've only had mine for a year. Some people have had theirs since they were 12. What would we do if we had to go a week without one? Just a landline, so we could make the important phone calls we needed to.
Our society is so reliant on technology, we don't know what to do with our spare time. Or even me, right now. I should be cleaning my room. I have a shirt on my lap I'm "folding" as I check my "e-mail". When in reality I'm writing on the computer while watching TV. It's just... a little bit sad.
But that is my rant for today. Cheerios :)
