Charging The Phone
[Moozik: She Wants Revenge - Replacement]
You know how you realize that your cellphone is not really very charged at all and on its last legs. Panic obviously. That's almost like not even bringing it with you. The horror. Got my charger at work? Of course not. That would be far too easy. Hmm, wait, I've got the USB cable, I'll just plug it into my laptop. That should work right? Of course not. Not even recognized and certainly not charging.
Ugh. Now it's try to find the correct USB driver on the internet game. That's always fun. Try Motorola's site. That was a total suckfest and I gave up. Googled for it and found the driver on some obscure "hack my razr" site. Sounds very trustworthy. Get it installed though and plug the phone back in.
Success. Charging away. But having to go digging for drivers? In 2008? Come on.
Anything to make life difficult.
I always buy an extra charging cable for exactly that reason. Keep one at home, one at work. Oh, and one for the car.
Kev... agreed sir.
Karl... well, here's the thing. I do have an extra charger that should have gone with me to work. Guess where it is though? Yep, sitting next to the original charger at home. Genius.
