Breakfast at home: small bowl of oatmeal with cinnamon and sliced banana, 12 ounces of vegetable juice. Was too tired to much of anything today aside from two things: (a) some housecleaning, (b) contacted Straight Talk support by email about how to get MMS on my iPhone 3GS. They responded quickly by email and then again by telephone. Basically they told me that I need to jailbreak my phone in order to get MMS to work. I'm not sure I'm ready to jailbreak. Their support sounded to me like it was outsourced to India. Support in writing and by voice was very stiff. I think the entire customer support industry needs to be reinvented to provide personalities that are more appropriate than what corporations think I want. Napped in the afternoon. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers for me, potstickers from frozen for Patrick, hot water. Today Patrick baked banana bread for Simmone and reorganized and cleaned in his room. We newly set up for him an Oregon Scientific projection clock that he had stopped using a while back. Late snack: two potstickers with dumpling sauce. Began reading The Where, The Why, and The How by Volvovski, Rothman, and Lamothe.
