So I've been having problems with my cel phone for a few months now... the thing reboots spontaneously, seems to go from full charge to no-charge warning and back again. Generally, its become a flakey old phone.
loree suggested I switch from Verizon to Team Mobile for better international coverage. Verizon has been trying to lure me into a long-term contract with phone deals for the past year, and I've just stuck with the one I had.
It has also been suggested I wait until I start at Microsoft and find out if they have some kind of deal to pay for a phone or some other related benefit. I was basically going to put it off until then...
Until tonight, when I fucking washed my phone in the laundry. I realized this when I transferred things to the dryer and heard a "thump. thump. thump." indicating something heavy was in there.
Oh, it's dead. It's really dead. Once it dries out I might try to charge it, but water-proof these things aren't.
I'm such an idiot.
So if you are having trouble reaching me on my cel, that would be why. Glad I went through it and copied all the phone numbers to my Outlook address book due in large part to it's increasing flakiness...
