Plan "B"

When it comes to work, I may be "in" technology, but when it comes to the rest of my life I'm certainly not "into" technology as some most other people here in Silicon Valley are. I have a telephone at home, but it's rarely plugged in. I have the Federally mandated cable which costs $13 per month. I have a cell phone, but it's on the pay as you go plan and I don't think I've spent more than $100 for the 6 or so years that I've had it. I don't even own a computer at home.

So basically, I'm not a slave to technology. Unlike the guy next to me right now. He's working on his laptop and he has his headphones plugged into the side. It looks like he's ripping songs off the Internet or something because he's going through a series of thumping and searching. Thumping the table and bobbing his head - clicking and typing for more songs.

Anyway, the funny thing is that his cellphone keeps ringing, but he can't hear it. He's just blissfully thumping away. Thump, thump, thump.
