I”m feeling bad because the last week or so has been filled with very little activity. Of course, I’m not sure how much activity one can expect out of a musician with a head cold and a sore throat, but – well, there’s so much to do that doesn’t involve singing.
At the moment, I’m very very worried about communication. I get the impression that only about half of my ilyaimy.com email is actually getting out to the world – but I’m getting no error messages or mailer daemons. I’ve been sending test messages from rob@ilyaimy.com to ilyaimytrip@aol.com and none of them have shown up yet.
And then there’s the cell phone! It hasn’t worked since passing into Nebraska. On my theoretically national plan, I am no longer receiving audio signals (though through a thorough period of testing I’ve found that people can hear me), but the speaker isn’t broken, as I can playback pre-recorded audio through my phone.
Tech-support says my speaker must be broken, and that I need to bring my phone into a Cingular store. I tell them that the speaker can’t be broken, because I can play stuff through it… we go through what is obviously the same automated error message menu again, and we arrive again at the “fact” that my speaker must be broken. Once I get back to Illinois, I can get to a Cingular store, but what I suspect will happen, is that I’ll get there, they won’t find a problem (which will have magically fixed itself after a three week period of destroying my cell phone using ability) and I’ll just have paid for a month of non-service.
I hate the world.
