Cell Phones

You just gotta love em. Modern technology. I don't know anyone that doesn't have one nowadays. Its amazing what they teach you. For example, I found out yesterday when I picked mine up to call a friend, that I was not "authorized to use this feature, and that I must contact customer service in order to have access." Wow. Is this some new type of call screening? I pulled the phone away from my ear and on my screen was the picture of the friend that I was calling, so I know I hit the right button. It even said, connecting at the bottom. Thats a pretty cool feature to have for advanced call screening right?? Nope, sorry, I do not wish for this person to call me, therfore they are not authorized. I dang near ran my truck off the road laughing. I of course hung up and redialed her number and when she answered I promptly asked her how this call screening thing worked cause I thought it was pretty cool!

They also teach you how to multi-task. Did you know it is possible to type a text message to someone while driving 60 miles an hour? Now that is a skill. I should put that on my resume. "Text Messaging up to 60 miles an hour while with the accuracy of keeping your vehicle in your lane and not running into anyone else." Now that is a valuable skill! Im sure it would be most benefical to a perspective employer! Of course, Im sure some employers would rather you didn't know how to use the text messaging feature. Take my lady boss for example. I don't think she found it quite as comical as I did that I could text message her while driving home from work to tell her that Toby Keith had come out with a new song that I think he did just for her, and it was called "High Maintenance Woman." When I saw her at work the next day, she promptly gave me that sign that told me I was still number 1 with her! :-) Oh well. I thought it was pretty darn funny.

Now, my friend has the ultimate cell phone accessory that I woul just love to have. His truck is a roving wireless connection. He has all the latest toys that anyone would envy. This cell phone feature that he is can actually scramble the cell phone frequency of the phones nearest you while driving down the road. This comes in especially handy when you get behind that genius that just simple can't get the concept of driving while they are talking on the phone. Its simple. You find that person that is just chatting away and driving 12 miles an hour in the fast lane, and you come up behind them, hit this button, and PRESTO, lost cell phone call! You can sit there and watch the bewildered look on their faces as they pull their cell phone away from their ear to look at the phone and see what happened to their call. Cool way to entertain yourself as your sitting in traffic!!! I'm so going to have to get me one of those!

And one final thought here unrelated to cell phones, I'd like to welcome Andie to the world of blogging. She is finally here! Tina and Cassie taught me how nice it was to have some place to post your thoughts and it actually is quite addicting once you start it. So, I hope Andie enjoys it as much as I do and I really look forward to reading her posts!!!

Happy Friday everyone!
