Silence is Golden

Today marked the first day when some idiot forgot to turn of their cell phone, and it rang in class. And that idiot was... ME!¹ Normally, my phone has absolutely no reception in the law building (I don't know why, but I think it might have something to do with the wireless network... or that T-mobile has no towers near my building), so I normally don't even think about my phone. Well, for some reason, at the exact moment that someone tried to call me, my phone got a signal, and you could hear my ring blaring through the classroom.

What was that old commercial about "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." Great. I'm not even that mad that it happened, or that it happened to me... Mostly I'm pissed because I was the first dolt that forgot.

¹I realize that this pretty much ruins any chance I have at remaining anonymous, at least to my section-mates and the professor of that class... but I think people here at Minnesota could figure it out anyway, and I just don't have the energy to check every one of my posts to make sure I am removing any chance of anonymity... so I saidh screw it. Plus, you all have a right to learn from my stupidity, and to laugh at it.
