An arguement(maybe?) against syncing...

I love my phone. I have it with me all the time. I even have it in the bathroom
when I take a shower(old habits from 24 hour on call jobs die hard). In fact, I
have it on my person when I'm wearing an outfit with no pockets; hello opera
mailbox.

But sometimes I get a little upset, shall we say, about all the things we can do
on phones now. A statement made hypocritical by the fact that I am writing this
blog on my Blackberry. Yay for carpal tunnel in the phalanges! I digress. It's
mostly the syncing of email to devices.

I have two emails. One is my professional "Hey! Look at me! I'm a serious
actress/filmmaker/tech support grunt/what-have-you" and the other, a more
personal, is for "YouTube/fart jokes/chain letters". I have alerts set on my phone
when I get a new email. And here's where I show my true geekiness, all my alerts
from text to email to appointments are Doctor Who sounds/quotes. If I hear Billie
Piper saying she's a chav, personal email, or David Tennant asking if he's a
ginger, it would be professional. When I hear that one, I usually say "no love, that
would be me". Sometimes I forget other people are around and they give me
weird looks. Of course, it could be that I respond in a British accent(I think I found
a topic for next week).

This a great convenience. Though, not so much when visiting at a friend's house.
We'll be talking about pandiatonic dictation or why Taco Bell discontinued the
Triple-Layer nachos and suddenly "Exterminate!". I've had a friend freak out
before, but she doesn't know what a dalek is. Heathen.

Maybe it's not so much an inconvenience as a disappointment when nothing cool
comes through. Especially for email. It'll be 3:30 in the morning and I'll hear my alert
for professional email. Woo-hoo! Audition notice? Nope. "Save 30% on any
purchase when you buy the Nook!" Barnes & Noble, you suck. I awoke from my Snickers-induced diabetic coma for this?! For shame!

But, I do love waking up to a Facebook or Twitter notice. "Shamble-bobble-dibble-dooble."
