Yesterday, late at night, my father told me that someone had found my phone and delivered it to a store at the university, and that they had called him. Today I went to fetch it. I have it now.

Yesterday, other unfortunate events happened too. I injured my foot and it is now swollen. A light bulb exploded in my room. I have a hypothesis that nice things were supposed to happen to Geir, but a disruption in time-space continuum led to that, instead of something nice, something bad happened. Someone in the future invented a machine that would target and sabotage someone in the past: me. Why? I don't know.

An alternative hypothesis is that Geir in a parallel universe did something unethical and that karma punished the wrong Geir in the wrong parallel universe. I'm pretty sure karma has no reason to punish me, in this universe.

Do my blog reader(s) have any suggestions to why some people seem to be more unfortunate than others? Is it an illusion to think that some people are more unfortunate?

wah-wah, no ring ring.

Today I lost my mobile phone. I had the phone in my right pocket on my way to see a presentation at the university by the American ambassador in Norway. When I decided to go home, I grabbed for the phone that were supposed to be in my right pocket, to see what time it is, but it wasn't there. This has happened before, and the last time I had to get a new sim-card and phone.

If someone found the phone, it would be easy to find and return the phone to the owner. One could call ones own phone from this phone, notice the number and search for the owner by writing the number in the online telephone directory and click search. Then they would notice the name of the owner, and maybe write a message on facebook: " found your phone". I think that the chance for that to happen is small. What is more likely is that whoever finds the phone will take it, and keep as an extra phone, or put it a place where I will never find it again.

I think mobile phone technology should be more advanced than they are today. If a phone has gps function, and the phone has battery, then it should be possible to log on to a secure web page that will locate the position of your own phone.

Obviously... For anyone who want to contact Geir via phone: that won't work. When I think of it, I realize that few people call or send messages to Geir anyway. It's more like the status of comments to my blog, Jakob comments something occasionally. Jakob... Respected and valued friend of Geir.
