on monday morning, my cell phone broke. on thursday afternoon, i finally got around to replacing it. a few observations:
1 – good lord, why did you all let me leave my voicemail greeting like that for so long? i sound like i’m 12.
2 – with email, AIM, gchat, facebook, and twitter, i am constantly in touch with everyone i need to be and really didn’t miss having a phone at all.
3 – i use my blackberry for more things than my cell phone, but i still really don’t want to combine the two.
4 – i got 3 voicemails: one from my dad telling me about easter, one from eric making fun of me (thanks lori), and one from someone who i’ve been playing phone tag with for 6 months who never answers his phone when i call back. i think that means i win at not talking to people.
5 – i got 3 texts: 2 from my coworker running late on monday morning (she then emailed me), and 1 from digs probably making fun of my facebook status about not having a working phone. again, i win.
6 – i still remember the five phone numbers i needed to know before i got a cell phone. but not my mother’s cell phone number, because she got hers after me, of course. ask me if you’re on that list and maybe i’ll tell you.
7 – i hate every non-smartphone on the market right now. i think companies aren’t even trying to make them good anymore.
8 – verizon’s backup assistant is the best thing ever.
9 – verizon’s store on 42nd and 6th is the worst thing ever.
10 – i hate losing all my hysterical saved text messages every time i get a new phone.
11 – it’s fun to call people from 310 numbers when they don’t expect it.
