Cell Phone Attempted Suicide
This is the corner of my desk at work. My scanner sits on top of a nice Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1999 wooden box. To the right of the scanner, is my radio and my keyboard. Then, if you notice there is a coffee cup sitting there all innocently.
Yesterday, about 12:55, my cell phone was sitting on top of the scanner. I was sitting there typing away on the keyboard. And all of a sudden I hear *plunk*.
I looked over to see that my cell phone had attempted suicide, jumping foot first into the coffee cup. This is not the first time this has happened. It has jumped out of my hands, fallen out of my purse, rolled underneath me when I was sleeping (hoping to be suffocated/squashed to death).
About two months ago, one of it's attempts caused a good crack on the number keypad and the lid part that flips would fall off the hinges. As long as I was careful with it and held the hinges together it was fine.
Yesterday's attempt actually sent it to the Emergency Room. The caffeine put it on some sort of high and it spent the rest of the day beeping at me and telling me that it was charging. Apparently caffeine has the same effect on electronics as it does humans. I am hoping that the Emergency Room can fix it, as my both of my parent's cell phones have also attempted suicide and they are both blind (front display caller id screen broke).. and if mine can be restored at the ER then I will give her to her grandparents. Maybe they can help her.
In the meantime...
Meet my new cell phone. This new little guy even has a camera on it, so I can play FUG Thursdays and post more pictures when I'm not lugging around my big camera. In fact, the new little guy took the picture of the scene of his sister's attempted suicide.
Now, I'm just wondering. I wonder if I should research cell phone Lexapro so that I don't go thru the heart ache of putting all my numbers back into my cell phone again.

I hate when cell phones develop such low self-esteem that they try this. Maybe you should take pictures of happy things to give the cell a sense of self worth!
