Life without the umbilical
As I was walking out the door this morning, I discovered that my beautiful Motorola Q by SprintPCS was not booting up. That's the short of it.
The result? I spent the WHOLE DAY, of which I had planned to be 'connected' for most of it via the wonderful OMA and other 'features' of our SBS network, with minimal contact. It was an odd feeling, knowing there was stuff that needed my attention, and all the while nothing I could do about it. Fortunately, I had the 'other' cell phone on me, and a couple of my clients, and Abbie, were able to reach me on it directly, one even managed to do so while we were in one of the more remote areas of central Louisiana. I was able to fix the emergencies, and have a relaxing 10.5 hour day in the car with the family.
When we got to Madisonville, I got connected again on the laptop via wireless router connected to a cable modem. So much for vaca…
