Contactable Again

I finally get my hand phone number back. I went to the customer service center and the staff there just simply gave me a new SIM card for my phone at no charge at all, because they believed customer service was the key of their business. And they also believed that without my SiIM card I wouldn't be able to use their services and give them money.

I can now sms and call my friends anytime. Just imagine how it felt a few days back when I didn't have my number with me. My friends couldn't contact me, my colleagues couldn't inform me about what happened in the office, and I couldn't sms my wife where I was. Can you imagine how it felt?
Yes, it felt great!

Everything was so calm. My partner couldn't bug me with office problems and my friends couldn't sms me and asked for my help. That's one period of peace that had.
But of course I couldn't stand it for too long. After a while I missed sms-ing my wife and got worried if there's something urgent that I needed to tackle. At that time, I couldn't imagine and remember how I could survive ten years ago.
I vaguely remembered that there was pager and payphone, but I couldn't recall how we lived without a mobile phone, uncontactable the whole time. Spending a lot of time waiting and waiting without knowing what happened to the people that we supposed to meet. Such a waste of time.
How if our wives wanted to tell us to go home early? How if our boss wanted to inform us there's urgent thing at the office. Hmmm, well, imagine that.
