Nora, my droid would not work in the UK so I ended up renting a phone from verizon. Your carrier should be able to let you know. A US charger with an adaptor worked fine though.
Where did you rent it? Over here or over there?
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Nora, look at at&t wireless international roaming website before you make any decisions.
You will be fine using an adaptor to charge your cell phone. No neeed to buy another charger over there. Most all current phones use dual-voltage charger these days.
You should turn off data roaming though. International roaming is hella expensive.
Happy birthday, Ginger!

So....I did a LOT of sleeping today. At one point, with Mister Kitty tucked into an armpit, Loki sprawled across my torso and Pumpkin draped over an ankle. I think they like sick days.
Gonna jam some silicon wax crap in my ear and go swimming. Nuts, I know.

Feel better, sara. Don't overdo it. Do you need anything? I'm just leaving the office.

Nah, I'm good (besides, about to walk out the door myself.) I'm just bemused by how much of the day I spent asleep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
because I was told it wouldn't work on my phone
Who's your carrier again? I'm pretty sure my sister's bought a UK SIM as well as a US SIM for her Jamaican phone. And I could buy a Kenyan one for my (T-Mobile or maybe AT&T) phone.

So they're shutting down my building because of the General Strike called for tomorrow. ::rolls eyes::
Rather than try to squeeze into a cubicle in the other office down on the waterfront, I'ma take the day off. Gonna go for a nice long run in the hills, and maybe treat myself to lunch. Or hit the Nordtrom's Sale. ::looks shifty:: Hey, it's supporting the economy...
