Ok, something worth writing about.... so I was reading over the instruction manual for Blackberry today, and came across this section for caring for your device

MAKING IT LAST

Your phone is a complex electronic device; think of it as a mini-computer. Here are some hints that should help you extend the life of your new phone.

Phones aren't cheap, so keep yours in a safe place. Keep your phone away from children who may find it fun to see if the phone sinks or floats and dogs that find plastic-coated products to be irresistible chew toys.
 
Water will damage your phone and accessories. Even a small amount of water such as droplets from a soda in your car cup-holder, melting snowflakes, tears of joy, squirt-gun crossfire, or steam from the hot water in the kitchen or bathroom can damage your phone.
 
Use only batteries and accessories from the original manufacturer of your phone. Non-approved accessories can cause damage to you or your phone and shorten the phone's life. Hint: If it's being sold out of someone's car trunk, walk away.

At least I found it amusing....

two really cool things happened at work today....

1. i was talking to my co-worker in Germany about some work-related issue, then she told me that she's gonna try to get the report to me before the end of the year because she's leaving the company by the end of the year. i was like... "what?!?!?!!?" since she's been here probably for 10+ years. then she told me she's changing career completely... she's gonna go help out youths in East Germany for a church work. i was like...um... could i ask you a question? are you a Christian? and she said yes. i was so excited and she said, "i take it you're a Christian too?" it was quite awesome. she's a very dedicated worker and very very nice to work with. so she was telling me how God just planned everything to happen for her, and she just felt God's calling her to that mission work.. and really opened doors for her. i really admire youth work so i asked her a few things about it. then i asked her about the spiritual conditions in Europe and she said it's just very blatantly scary. she said it's pretty mild here in USA, but in Europe, you can easily tell who's a Christian and who's not... because evil is so clear to see everywhere. but she said some people's hearts are extremely open to the gospel, while some are just really hard. anyways.... i was just very happy to know a Christian at work... although a little late.

2. one of my co-workers who i invited to come to the gospel night last Saturday told me she couldn't come because her husband came that weekend and he had no interest in going. i was actually happy because she cared enough to tell me afterwards that she didn't go (the other two co-workers didn't even mention anything about it). so i'm just very happy that she's even open to it. so i talked to her a little bit about fellowship and stuff...and she said she's been to it in Michigan before, and doesn't seem opposed to the idea. she rather like the fellowship of ppl who help each other out. so i'm gonna try to invite her to come to our church....

anyways. very cool. i was so excited this morning... haha...
