I might have a phone addiction. I recently heard something clever from a friend. I nearly picked up my phone and went to Canva where I could create a clever post to download so I could go to Buffer and schedule it to appear several times on my social media where I could check regularly to see how many “likes” I could get.
While it’s in my hand, I could text a few friends to chat with them about the ridiculousness of idols, or maybe use WhatsApp or Facebook messenger instead. I could always use Facetime too or hop over to Instagram and post a short video of me talking about this silly notion of idols today. It’s a good thing I have one of the latest iPhones because the camera quality of that video would be stellar.
Since I have it out, I could also sneak online and see what the latest sports scores are or see if that team I like made any trades that I might be interested in. Or I could check the status of the championship gear that I ordered to see if it will arrive soon so I can wear my Buckeye champ stuff. After all, I need people to see my allegiance to the school everybody in or from Ohio cherishes and relentlessly roots for.
Come to think of it, I should sneak over to my web page and see if I’ve gained any new followers for my blog or over to Mailchimp to see if I’m getting more subscribers to the newsletter I’m terrible at keeping up with. I’d hate to lose anybody, especially over something simple like not keeping them updated like I should.
That reminds me, I need to go to my Weight Watchers App and enter last night’s supper which I’m sure was very high points. Since they are neighboring applications, I might as well check the news feed after that to see what new political developments happened today. If I scroll down a bit I can read more about my teams or learn a new recipe or a new app to check out or phone hack. I usually skip by the celebrity news because who follows that crap?
This also reminds me to check out YouTube to see if there are any more developments on the next Star Trek movie. I know they have rewritten the script and have finally secured a new director and all of the main stars like Chris, Zach, Zoe, and others. I’ll be the first in line when they start ticket sales for this one. It might even bring back that Thor guy who my wife likes because he takes off his shirt a lot.
Since it has been so long, I’ll go back to Facebook because I’m not ready to put the phone down yet. I will scroll down to see some of my silly cartoon sites so I can interrupt Diane from playing on her iPad to show her the newest funny pics or memes about the prez or other people in the news.
Oh, crap. Before I put it down I need to check all four of my email accounts. After that, a quick peek at my calendar and Todoist app to make sure I have everything properly on my schedule for today and tomorrow. Since that takes a few minutes, I’ll do one more check on Facebook to see if my latest ad has any new likes.
Hm. That happened fast. I wonder why my phone battery is draining so quickly these days. I’ll let it go until the red light comes on and then put it on the charger. Oops. There’s the red light.
Now, I’m bored.
