Notes on my life

The Life of an IT-Guy in Suriname.

losing a limb

Last saturday I lost my phone. A HTC Touch. It feels like losing a limb. I had about 250 contacts in it. vrom all over the world. Good thing most of them where also on my computer. So The contact info is not lost. Losing my phone made me realise how dependent I am of mobile communication. It couldn’t happen in a worse time.
Here is the story. Friday it was Halloween, So naturally it was party until…. very late. The next morning I had to get up early to go to work. Not my usual work. I was the technical support at a Clico . There everything went fine. Afterwards I had to go to my usual work. Because I was late I took a taxi. After a couple of hours at work I wanted to call somebody and found out that I did not have my phone. That was the moment I started to panic. I know I had my phone at home because I answered a call. I almost took the office apart to find my phone. I called home and my sister looked everywhere. So the only place I can image it is is in the taxi. I called the taxi company and they told me the driver didn’t find it. I don’t really believe that. But without proof there is nothing I can do.

It’s bad to lose the phone the timing made it worse. I had to meet a girl in the mall. One I haven’t seen in 8 years. The deal was I was suppose to go to the mall after work and call her. Now how can I call a girl if her number is in the phone I just lost. I went to the mall hoping to bump into her. Didn’t happen. I did meet her later that night, I did have her phone number at home.

In the mean time I blocked my number and informed what to do next. I can get my number back on a new sim but for that I need some info I left in the office. Until then I can only be reached via mail or MSN.

PS. The Halloween Party was tha bomb. I’ll post pictures on the rock site I manage.
