Identity Crisis

Published by

So I’m going about my day, teaching, talking to students, having lunch, and wondering the entire time why I’m not getting any comments on my blog delivered to my mailbox.

After a few hours of zero comments, I get a full-blown identity crisis. Nobody likes me any more! Nobody wants to read my blog! I’m unpopular! Useless! Abandoned by everybody! I need to rethink my entire life strategy!

And then of course I discover that everything is fine, the blog has received many comments, and the only reason I’m not getting them is that my BlackBerry fails to synchronize the mailbox for some reason.

So I had an identity crisis for nothing.

P.S. The stupid BlackBerry also apparently refuses to send my emails, so if this post publishes twice, I apologize.

    The problem started in the UK and at this point the overload of messages from North America and Asia to Europe is backing up service in these locations also. Unfortunately, BB users will have to stop using the service for a few days until RIM can clear their servers.

      Now that I know what’s going on, I don’t mind not using it. It’s the sudden and unexplained loneliness of my blog that caused all this drama. 🙂

      Contrary to popular opinion, I might be able to survive without my phone for as long as I could survive without water. 🙂 🙂
