Cheap or ingenius

It’s a fine line …

My phone battery is dead as a doornail (which makes it rather awkward when I accidentally hang up on people like my Dad, my friends, the person I’m interviewing, etc), so I retrieved the battery from my old phone to save myself the $30 cost of a new battery.

Alas, the old battery was too small. So in a stroke of genius, I took a small piece of paper, folded it accordion-style to make it thicker and jammed it into the small spare space.

It now fits!

It’s now charging!

And I don’t have to buy a new battery!

Wahoo!

Bathroom inspirations

Standing in line to go to the bathroom is an annoyance in the first place.

It’s even worse when you can hear the stalling individual taking up the stall gabbing away an a cell phone.

I considered pounding on the door, demanding, “Come on, man! Focus!” but thought that might be a little too rude.

Actually, it kind of makes me wonder if I could make a little money writing a sequel to famed playwright Samuel Beckett’s groundbreaking work. He wrote “Waiting for Godot;” maybe I’ll write “Waiting for To-go.”
