Dependency

Like cell phones, PDAs, + other 'smart' gadgets...
Well, I used to say, "What a joke..." But now that I've been assimilated...not having a cell phone sucks. Danielle and I were mid-conversation when my phone died: Battery out of juice. So I grab my car charger (thanks to Paul, who nabbed my regular charger...) and head to the truck to charge it a bit to wrap up the conversation.
"Why isn't the charge plug engaging?"
Oh...
So, my LG VX8100 that J got me for Christmas years ago has kicked the bucket. Verizon can't do anything for me either. They want a minimum of $200.00 for a new phone. Best thing I could hope for now, is that I can find a cheap-o phone to put my sim card into...
I am going to try to be zen about it.
Of course, not being able to call people outside of when I am at work, or near a pay phone is a bit inconvenient. Once upon a time, however, I relished not having a "leash," tethering me to anything, or anyone...
Maybe I can re-cultivate that attitude.
Besides, if I wait long enough, RXV may just get me one anyway.
In the mean time, sorry to everyone who reads this: email, leave a message or send a letter. I'll reply when I can!
