My Mxit Mayhem

Thanks to the industry I find myself in Mxit has become sort of a buzz word here in South Africa. Many of my older readers might only have heard of it before and have not had first hand experience in it.
I have though. Last night. And it was a catastrophe. I was having coffee with two girl friends last night when Mxit came up in a conversation. It’s either that, or Facebook, or both. I promise you, within 5 minutes both of them were logged into Mxit and checking out the territory.
I didn’t have my phone there, because quite frankly, I don’t like carrying one around so I was left out of this seemingly mesmerizing digital world.
But they were giggling and comparing and daring and seemed to generally be having a great time. I left soon after, because…who wouldn’t, right?
And I thought I’d give this beast a go. I logged in and was looking for this special place called Jazz Café. Couldn’t find it. Keep in mind people, I am a web strategist and these things are pretty arbitrary for our minds.
Right, so I consult with the one girl friend on what to do, on Mxit of course. Dynamic Zone is where I needed to go. 20 minutes later I realized my phone can’t perform two Mxit commands after another. 10pm.
I had to log out and then log back in to further my venture.
Still doesn’t work. So I consult with her again. Ahhh, moola. As in Mxit money. I buy 200 credits and it cost me R 2. Fantastic.
Log out. Log in.
Great, have my moola and my mojo still in tact. Off to that dynamic zone again. I’m excited. Fingers itchy. Got into the zone pretty effortlessly, but absolutely no Jazz Café. Consult with friend again and was told to go through the Grown Up section.
Log out. Log in.
Right, straight to dynamic zone. Salivating stuff, I tell you. Enter the grown up section and voila!!!!! Jazz Café. Tried to pop into one of the chat rooms but nooooooooo!!! Register my friend. 200 moola. Fair enough, it’s only R 2. I register. I accept the Terms and Conditions. I’m older than 18. I try to get in. Damnit.
Log out. Log in.
Dynamic Zone, Grown Up, Jazz Café. I’m turning 28 and my thumb feels like I’m 80 years old with arthritis at this stage. Accept Terms & Conditions, yes I’m 18. Sorry, your moola is finished sir. Of course! I used it to register. Back to buying moola. Doesn’t work.
Log out. Log in.
Buy moola. 500 credits this time, just to be safe. Dynamic Zone, Grown Up, Jazz Café. Accept Terms and Conditions, yes I’m still 18, yes I’ll be safe and never reveal my pin. Yes, plllleeeeaaase just let me in!!!! 10:50pm.
10 rooms to choose from. I choose one. Room full, wait in the queue? Hell no!
Next room. Room full. Wait? Hell no!
Next room. Yes. Welcome CaptainDanger. Have a nice time.
Untimely beep indicates my battery is flat. 11:25pm
