Today, I said to Joe, “My phone battery never dies. Unlike some people…”<\/p>\n
I was alluding to the fact that I always kept my phone charged and diligently used the phone so that I never got the “battery dead” message.<\/p>\n
As I said that, I wanted to say “knock on wood”, but thought I was getting superstitious in my pretentious moment. How could I jinx my phone?<\/p>\n
Well apparently I did.<\/p>\n
I was talking to my sister on the phone walking along Valencia. I hung up as I crossed the side street and dropped my phone in the process. The back of the phone and the battery popped out. I thought cheap phones just can’t stick together<\/i> and promptly put the phone together, expecting that it will work.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately it did not.<\/p>\n
Everything was fine. Except the screen. It lit up, but nothing displayed. Just a white empty screen. I figured out that I could call people by using my speed dial, but nothing more.<\/p>\n
I thanked my luck stars that I was incredibly anal about copying my phone numbers to my digital address book.<\/p>\n
So now, I will carry a screenless phone…like before the days of caller id. Feel free to call me, because I won’t know it’s you. In fact, telemarketers can also call me, because I won’t know it’s you.<\/p>\n
“Hello?” I’ll answer instead of the cherry “Hi [insert name here]”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
