I agree and that is the strange thing. He is usually a good kid, but the last few times we have seen him (last 3-4 months once or twice a month), he has been a complete cry baby which is completely not like him. Brain and I were thinking it was maybe that within that last three years, he went from baby of the family to a middle kid.

It could be an attention getting thing then... Don't take this the wrong way when I ask it, but any chance of abuse happening?

I would never even guess it, but the way he reacted made me wonder a little.

I don't know anything abou the kid or family or anything, but one of the warning signs is a drastic change in personality. More than likely the kid is just turning into a brat because he gets attention that way, but it was something that popped into my mind.

I just watched the final The Office: accountants webisodes. What did the little piece of paper say? the one that ended up positioned on Angela's forehead from Kevin's point of view...

Jason and Alex, you'll be glad to know the Drunken Aussie has returned for yet another night.

I am SUCH an idiot...

 

I threw the load of laundry into the dryer and there was something knocking really loud so I asked Brian to go check it out.

 

Yeah, I guess when I picked up his work pants I forgot to take his cell phone out. At least I managed to remember to take his wallet out.

 

So now I have the pleasure of calling Cingular (usually have no problems with them, but this one should be interesting) to see if I can go to the Cingular store across the parking lot from my office to buy a replacement phone. There goes money I had no intentions of spending.

It lives!!!!

 

I was hoping if I let it dry out it would be okay and it is - woohoo!!!

I was just going to tell you that. Jim's fell in Fox Lake a few weekends ago and after it dried it was fine.

It died again. I hope it just needs more dry time. We made calls and went through his phonebook and it worked for 45 minutes before dying.

Took Jim's a couple days before it stopped freaking out and dropping calls. The display was also screwed up for a day or so after as well, but eventually went back to normal.

Maybe we should hold off on getting one for a day or two... thanks for the info.

Mine survived the ocean once. It acted really funny when it first came back, but after it dried completely (took like a day) it somehow worked fine so maybe Brian's phone will make it.

Call tech support

 

Possibly too late now, but if this happens again, place the phone, or other small electronic device, into a plastic bag and fill with uncooked* rice. It will help the electronics to dry out quicker and more completly as the rice obsorbs moisture.

 

*added just in case someone is that dumb.

 

Stumbled across this while researching Jim Brown Searunners

 

Trimaran bunks on the bridgedeck always have limited headroom. They are sometimes so claustrophobic you cannot roll over without banging your hips. Normal human activity usually associated with beds is severely restricted.

 

I love that turn of a phrase. I wonder what they are talking about? Reading? Eating?

LOL - I actually did call tech support and they couldn't tell me much.

I also accidently left my previous phone in my coat pocket when I washed it but remembered to take it out as it was washing. I let it dry for about 4 or 5 days, and it worked, but only for a few minutes (the outer display also did not work anymore, which I didn't mind as long as the rest of the phone worked). I took it in to see if it could be salvaged, and a new battery is what did the trick.

I bought him a new phone last night. With his hours and how far away he works, I didn't want him to not have a phone for going to work.

 

Depending on the cost of a battery, I might pick one up and see if that works. It would be a nice back up to have in an emergency.

The office season 2 dvd comes out today!

One more f***ing packaging question and I will go postal on someone here. That or one more smart assed remark...one or the other grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Ask them to try one of their batteries in to see if that does the trick before you spend your money. They should have extras laying around, especially if they have a repair service there.

I am too old for all nighters.

Yes, yes, no (sadly)

 

I was also prepping for class and working on a departmental presentation I have to give today.
