Now the first time I did this I was lucky – the awesome piece of machinery survived the fall and responded immediately to my furious CPR of the on/off button.
The ninth time I dropped it, there was nothing that would help. My phone had flatlined. I very suddenly felt disconnected from my life, my work emails, my social media (tweet tweet!)
Now some say the Law of Attraction is a powerful thing. You put out there what you want – and you get it. So I had been addicted to my iPhone for a while. Checking my emails too often, being accessible when I should have been otherwise engaged. My wall paper should have read “Open all hours”. I was saying to my friends how I had a love/hate thing going on with the iPhone. “I wish I could just text and talk like the old days…”
Well my wish was granted.
I am now getting acquainted with a mate’s old phone while waiting for the new iPhone to be released. I am in iRehab!
Thou shalt not to be dependant on iPhone….
I am realising that the world is not going to fall down if I do not update my twitter, linked in or facebook account everyday! Check my emails 40,000 times.
It is quite refreshing. By the time I get my hands on the new phone I will have a different relationship with it. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder?
Question is though…does the new phone come with a bubble wrap cover?
