Not since before I lost my first pet have I felt so single handed.  This morning, as is my routine I prepared for the day and hit my BlackBerry to see what happened over night.  Well, no e-mail service.  What? Isn’t a BB more than just a phone?  Yes, but not today.  I felt like someone cut off my right thumb.  At first I suspected the phone.  The BB, as with all cool technology, requires a modicum of patience and a regular hard reset.  So I pulled the battery, re-set then checked my service connections and still no go.  Thanks to Crackberry.com I was able to point the finger (not my thumb) at BB’s email server.  Somewhat of a relief I guess, but when is service coming back?  Dunno, but I hope I can survive until then…

(CFO) - For executives who have been deferring parts of their compensation, 2010 may be the time to rake in their winnings.
