cell phone

Today I went to work without my cell phone. Thank goodness I recently bought a watch or I'd be completely lost. It feels as if something is missing, though, that annoying ring tone that always interrupts my train of thought. It's like all the sudden the train is driving in the dark with the lights off. Ack! Silly little electronic gadget, it is comforting to know I can get along without you, but I still feel so out of touch.

How is it, with each password we memorize, we inadvertently confuse ourselves? Maybe writing our passwords down in a location and making it easier for someone to obtain control. Memorizing series of numbers, phrases, alphanumeric characters, do you know any other species that participates in life in such a coded way? I find myself forgeting more important things like, how old I am, when the World Cup of Soccer is, how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop, and the list goes on. I'm going to have to resort to a computer generated list of passwords, which unfortunately a computer could probably crack. Pretty soon I'll be speaking in passwords, not knowing what they are for, lost in a dialect of &'s and $'s and capital Q's. What's in a memory?  #*@% if I know.

I'm on a week-long training, staying in a hotel, trying not to stay out too late with the new young awesome career interns I work with. As I relax in my hotel room, I must wonder what could possibly be banging on the wall if the headboards are screwed into the wall??? hmmm.....
