Blackberry Addiction
Alright alright, JoJo gotta admit that she secretly got her blackberry ("BB") back last November after she tried her best to stay away from it for more than 180 days.
Her addiction to BB was so severe that had experienced multiple withdrawal syndrome during the 6-month detox period, particularly when she was surrounded by those bankers/lawyers/high-power people who just simply could not remove their thumbs from the keypad. Finally, JoJo gave in and got her BB back.
Some rules and parameters needed to be set by JoJo's beloved husband of course. As he suffered as the largest victim in JoJo's prior addiction. No BB in bed. No BB during meals. And No BB when walking. Simple to follow, isn't it? Not quite right.
Those of you who are addicted to BB as JoJo is will understand. The behavior is almost incontrollable. You reach under the table during a nice conversation as soon as you see from the corner of your eyes that the red light is blinking. You sit down in a car or at a restaurant and your natural reflex is to start scrolling down the inbox to see if you are needed by someone for an answer.
JoJo simply cannot get her hands off the keypad and she is just so proud of her ability to type without looking down. She doesn't stop until there is no more new messages. And even when there is no more new messages she will check and re-check her calender until it's time for the next appointment.
But BB has it merits too. For example, she is JoJo's companion when doing the 3-hour roundtrip commute to office daily. And she is also JoJo's best defense when she is sitting or eating at a restaurant alone. And best of all, this entire blog was typed on BB!
