Cell Phone Hell

I am formally in cell phone hell. I just got a new phone less than a month ago, but the reception on it has steadily declined in that time. I receive upwards of 40 calls each day. Sometimes, it never even rings (that I hear anyway) but suddenly I have 5 new voicemails. I can not resist picking up when it does actually ring through, but no one can hear me anyway so it is a ridiculous exercise in playing out that cell phone commercial, "Can you hear me now?" VERY frustrating. So if you are one of the poor people who has been subject to this nonconsensual torture, I do apologize. Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately. I'm feeling sorta withdrawn.
