Hitch was a gift

My smart phone stopped working last week. I use my phone to create publications and read and do so many other things. It is my pocket computer. To me, it was a big hitch to see it malfunction but it created two new opportunities. I am writing this blog on my PC.

Firstly, I bought a Dumb phone with FM radio and the ability to record FM radio and connect to blue tooth. I can now drown out the horrible and dirty music they play at my work place the whole night. I could listen to the radio on my smart phone also but the app uses a lot of power and requires a constant internet connection and the phone's battery quickly goes flat within 4 or 5 hours. My Dumb phone does not use much power because it doesn't power excess micro processors and memory chips to be all encompassing. The dumb phone's power needs are much less yet it has the same lithium iron battery. 

Secondly, I brought a paper pad with me so I can write entries in my book when I am on my tea break. My book has been neglected recently so this is an opportunity to get back into control and back on the ball.

I am thankful that I have a means to mentally block out the horrible music they play at my job. I can listen to news and debates instead of people trying to turn into sex robots with sea gull's vocal cords.
I am also thankful that I can think clearly now and make progress with my second book.
