Emergency! Emergency! This is not a drill...DEFCON 2 alert! Phoebe’s Blackberry isn’t working!
Suggestion to evacuate Blackberry to nearest Orange shop for intervention ends in failure. Just remembered, I cancelled phone insurance through Orange as was larger than mortgage on family- size home. Also had vague recollection that there was phone insurance through my bank account. Why oh why, do I wait til crisis point before registering Blackberry to my account?! (Put that on my ‘critical’ To Do list as opposed to my ‘hope to find time to do one day’ To Do list.)
If the BB crisis were not enough, the 4pm situation is escalating. Four children suffering from dehydration not to mention starvation, following a few hours at school, require my immediate attention. Instructions are passed through the ranks, there’s a bottle of diluted squash in the fridge, crisps in the cupboard and flapjack on the counter. You’re on your own, help your little sister while I deal with Phoebe’s communication meltdown. If order is not restored shortly, her thumbs may begin to seize up from lack of use.
Think, think, think...what can I try next? Of course, my usual method for fixing things! Google: problems with Blackberries. Yikes! Almost 4 million pages...this could take a while. Reset button, now where can I find that? Hang on, best check first to see if this will result in total destruction of stored information! Hmmm, this idea sounds suitable for a civilian, plug in charger and switch phone back on. Three, two, one...switch on! Hallelujah! Life as we know it in our chaotic household can resume.
Was that a thank you I heard? No, just the drumming of thumbs on a querty keyboard...catching up on what has cracked off during the communication blackout! lol
