D'oh!

I swear I am an idiot. I bought a Bluetooth USB adaptor for my laptop so I can use my cellphone to hook up to the net. I get home and am setting it up with no problems and it's asking for the SIM #. I forgot what it was and being the idiot I am I enter the phone thinking it will show it to me. After fucking around I lock the damn thing up. Now I get a message saying "Sim blocked". I checked the manual and it gives the default and that doesn't work. I couldn't remember if I changed it to match another password so I try that. Nothing. Try a few more. Still nothing. I go to Cingular's site to see if I can find anything and it says if I try more then ten times, the SIM card gets fried (I assume this is some sort of security anti-theft thing). So now I am fucked. My cell is my only phone, I unhooked the land line five years ago when I got it. Thankfully I have my old card and was able to get my phone numbers off the cell (stored them on the phone, not the card). So I will have to go to the Cingular store tomorrow and see what they can do. Hopefully it's not fried, but if it is then I have to fork over $25. I can't bitch, as I was the dumbass who did it. I just pray they have cards.

And tomorrow night is the ghost investigation and I try to remain as stress free for those so my mind is clear and I am in control of myself. So I need to get this taken care of as soon as possible.
