It all started when my mobile, Nokia 6630 fell in the toilet! Okay, that was my fault – I mean who puts their mobile in the back pocket! It was destroyed. At the time I wasn't particularly bothered. I have a spare Nokia 3310, which I use when travelling abroad. It’s nothing fancy and usually quite reliable. This time though it hs let me down. It won’t even charge.
Fortunately for me, my sister had left her spare Nokia 6030 at my house by mistake and I…ehem… appropriated it for my own use! You can imagine the horror I felt when last weekend, as I was about to cross a busy main road, it slipped out of my hands and fell right onto the road! I stood by in utter helplessness as first a car went by- missing it by a fraction. There was a short interval in the traffic, a brief flicker of hope…it just might make it… only to be crushed when the next car just smashed it. Ohhhhh!!!!!
My sister took pity on me and gave me her other spare phone, Samsung SGH – D500 with instructions that I had to be extra careful with this one because it had precious photos and valuable contact information on it.
“I will guard it with my life!” I vowed earnestly.
This morning, as I was sending a text message, the screen froze and WENT BLANK! It has REFUSED to go back to normal. Even when I switch it on and off, take out the battery.... nothing, NADA, NIENTE!!!
I think it has died!! What am I going to tell my sister!!!
And it isn't just the phones! My office laptop is to be replaced for the 3rd time this year!!! When the IT guy attempted to rebuild it, there was a server/user name conflict, which he has been unable to resolve. 2 weeks no laptop. This laptop at home, after it has had enough (30 minutes), freezes. Ctrl-Alt-Del has no effect...in fact that freezes too!!!I am always rebooting it! It also does not like the new Facebook format!
The lens on my beloved Canon IXUS 800 IS camera has started malfunctioning too. Either it doesn’t focus at all, or if it does, when I take a photo, it comes out as over exposed or with white lines going through it!
I am wondering. Is this an attack of the enemy to get me down? I’ve got to admit, I am feeling quite frustrated. It isn’t funny anymore!
Or is there something about me that is causing these electronic things to act up around me. Granted with the mobiles, my clumsiness played a part, but the non-charging of one, and freezing of the other??? How do I explain that?
A former colleague who was into Eastern stuff told me that my computer was acting up because according to Feng Shui, it was affected by my mood and I needed to calm down! I was in a particularly bad mood that day.
I don’t know much about Feng Shui, and have always dismissed it as superstitious nonsense. Perhaps I should read up on it although the whole 'energy' thing freaks me out… but now I am thinking, is what is happening to my electrical equipment a reflection of the negative nervous emotional state within? This morning I was feeling emotionally drained. I only got a couple of hours sleep because I’ve come down with a cold and nose was bunged up. I was also crying a lot because of a discussion I had had with a non-Christian friend that evening, who has closed his heart and mind to God. And then the phone stopped working. Any connection there?
Can an inanimate object be affected by my moods?
