Finally a cure for the vexation caused by obnoxious people with cellphones.
SHHH - The Society for HandHeld Hushing.
Via Mintyfresh:
It's worth noting that I willingly gave away the free cellphone I had this summer and donated it the Clinic so that harried caseworkers could make emergency calls back to their review counsel while in court. When I first reactivated it for use in Toronto during interview week, I was initially worried it might take hold of me like the One Ring did to Frodo, and I would turn sunken-eyed and covetous of it, and stroke it reassuringly and call it my precious, but I prevailed. And what's more, I refuse to get another one until they actually force one into my grudging hands (and they will) as acondition perk of my articling position at the criminal law firm in Toronto next fall.
