When Your Smart Device Taunts You
Hey y’all! See this bad boy? He’s officially called a Zenergy but there’s a story behind his new nickname and he is not as innocent as this pic would suggest.
The beloved farmer and I bought him a while back. (I wrote about it here.) We used him for a while —until he somehow got unplugged, and sat alone through the busy holidays. I fixed that yesterday. He fixed me this morning…
Way before daylight (as planned ) he began to glow and to play instrumental music, softly (as planned) to wake one up gently.
I remember this, I thought. I like it.
Only, I apparently lay there liking it a few minutes too long for him because he suddenly began blaring and I do mean blaring the song “Bad Boys”, as in, “Bad boys, bad boys, what ‘cha gonna do—“
I could NOT make him stop. I tried every button. He resisted every effort, until I had no recourse but to snatch his cord from the wall again.
I do not remember this feature. I’m not a fan.
I’m giving Bad Boy one more chance before I gift him to the garbage collectors, fancy whistles and lights and all.
Bad Boy, bad boy, what ‘cha gonna do? What ‘cha gonna do when I come for you?
Hugs,
Shellie
