Phone Story

Once I was checked into the hotel last night, I started to make some phone calls only to discover my phone did not have reception. Actually, two bars were lit up, but none of the calls I attempted went through. I couldn't even get text messages to go through. I decided it was the reception here in the hotel and that I would be able to get better reception today.

This morning I was up and at it by 5AM. I got a considerable amount of work done before I had to go to the site for the training at 9:30. Still no phone. I finally thought to check and see if I was receiving e-mail......nothing. Then the light bulb came on and I pulled the battery out and re-booted the phone. It worked fine. The last time that happened was in New Orleans when the girls couldn't find me.

Then my slide clicker quit working just after the noon break. I hate to have to stand in one place and talk, but since I had to click from the laptop, that is what I had to do. I asked the facilitator if they had any AAA batteries, but they did not. Then I took the batteries out and re-installed them and it worked fine for about 15 minutes and quit again. I repeated the process and got another 15 minutes. It was sort of like shaking the toner to get a few more copies.
