Don't Always Trust Your Blackberry

I have owned a Blackberry for the past 4 years of my life. My Blackberry has never done me wrong and has always helped me keep in touch and stay punctual. I love the brand & love my Bold... or at least up until yesterday...

Some background information: I am a permanently late person, I always show up to things 5 minutes late (I can't help it - it's an Asian thing).

Anyway, yesterday, because of my Blackberry's advice I was an hour and five minutes late to everything. Thanks to the combination of too smartphones, my trust in my Blackberry and my stupidity, I was an extra hour behind. I woke up an hour late, got ready an hour late, left my house and hour late, got to breakfast an hour late, etc. Not until when I discussed golfing with my roommate, Lauren, did she make me feel totally retarded and did my Blackberry make me feel completely betrayed. My Blackberry's time had changed overnight because of daylight savings (something that us Arizonans know nothing about) and I chose to believe my phone's time over my laptop's, my iHome's, my microwave's and my car's. Yes, that is how much I trusted my Blackberry to supply me with up-to-date accurate information. & oh, how I was wronged.

I was upset for 5 minutes about losing an hour of productivity to extra sleep, but more upset that my companion, my Blackberry, had been so dishonest. I obviously had to forgive my Blackberry for its mistake, but from here on out, I will be skeptical of how much I trust this single electronic device. To put it simply, it's just too smart for me.

By the way, since this event I have changed the time zone from "Pacific" to "Arizona." & Thank God it wasn't a Monday.
