Incredibly off topic: It's official - I'm old

[Mark Padgett]

Got a new cell phone about two weeks ago to replace my old one. It was working fine up until yesterday afternoon when it wouldn't turn on. I knew it was charged, so I tried taking the battery out and putting it back in - no difference. I even charged it anyway - again, no difference. My carrier has a retail outlet not far from my office so I decided to drive over there. I got into their parking lot and thought I'd try it one more time. It worked perfectly! I sat there for a minute, deep in thought (at least as deep as I can think) and finally realized what the problem was. Any guesses? I had been pushing the wrong button!

What's next? Maybe accidentally hitTING THE SHIFT KEY ON MY KEYBOARD AND NOT NOTICING IT? NAH - THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN!
