The Crooked and the Straight

I've discovered a fatal flaw in my clever plan to have a mobile phone as my only phone: When your mobile phone goes on the fritz, it's hard to call technical support.

Long story short: A few days ago, phone workey. Sometime after that, phone no workey. (For making calls, workey. For receiving calls, no workey.) Joe wonder why nobody call him back. Joe discover phone broken. Joe visit Cingular store. Joe explain problem. Cingular give Joe new phone. New phone no workey. Try new SIM card. Also no workey. Joe get angry. JOE SMASH. Cingular say "We are working on it." Joe cry.

Hopefully things will be resolved tonight but until then, if you've been trying to get in touch with me, I haven't been ignoring you. Please try email.

[Update: phone works again.]
