Ode to My Brilliance

So, I forgot my cell phone charger in the room at Wiscon, and my battery is dead. I’ve got another interview tomorrow, which I was able to set up just as the phone started sending off its dying beeps.

I pulled up some online maps for the local Radio Shack and found one less than two miles away. As I was about to get out the door I thought, “Ha ha! I will be clever and call them to make sure they have a motorola cell phone charger! That way I won’t have biked all the way out there for nothing.”

So I cleverly picked up my phone, stared at the blank screen… and remembered that my phone was dead.

It’s the thought that counts.
