cell phones

okay, just need to complain for a minute... :( i had this old cell phone w/tmobile. but they were raping me w/monthly fees. so eric and i decided we can consolidate. we gave up my service adn phone in exchange for HIS with verizon. okay, so we get out his phone that he loves so much (yes, you might detect a little jealousy even...but before you think i'm strange, you should watch him caress it.....but i digress) and discovered that the battery is dead. so i went to verizon and was told it was over $30 for the stupid battery. and our contract isn't up until march, so no luck replacing the phone w/any kind of discount. arrgh. so the lady whispers over the counter, "i'd buy one online...they are much cheaper". so i did. i bought 3 actually. paid for 2. but when the first one came it was deader than dead. so they sent another one. wait! i forgot to add that i bought a generic one at ace hardware first. it worked, but sd "non-supported phone" and when i looked it up in the m anual it sd i could only use it for the life of the battery. it would not be able to charge. duh. like i want a phone for a day. :( anyway... so have tried 4 different batteries, and none have worked. oh, and i have to add that i've had to wait for delivery on them, so this has taken over a month. seriously. do you know what it's like to live w/out a cell phone for a month?!?!? OH MY HEAVENS. i am spoiled rotten. :(
sooooo..... i FINALLY decided i'd had enough of it. one guy told me it's not the batteries, it's the phone. so i got on KSL and through sleet and darkness drove 100 miles to buy a used one for $30. today i was THRILLED beyond measure to get it hooked up so i can be connected to civilization again. so i bring it in to verizon. they sd, "you have to have internet for this one...that's $30 more a month". ????? WHAT?????
i know, i know, you think they were just being funny. but NOOOooOOOOO. this was the truth. they were going to charge me $30 extra a month. i sd, "i don't use it for internet. i just want to text and talk. that's it".
"sorry" she sd.     ....by this point, i'm sure i had steam blowing out of my ears.  "OH MY HEAVENS. I WANT TO KILL SOMEONE".   i didn't even realize i sd it out loud. but worse? she took me seriously. "well, i guess if you want to go to jail for the rest of your life".   SERIOUSLY?? that comment alone almost pulled me over the counter in her direction. but no, i contained myself.   i ordered the $40 stupid verizon approved samsung battery. in two weeks i will know for certain if it's my phone or the stupid batteries. and yes, i have to be w/out a cell phone for AT LEAST that long.  tonight i'm thinking of taking that 30$ phone to the railroad tracks. do you think it might derail the train?? hmm... probably better not take that chance.

i did learn something though. i'm addicted to my cell phone. it's a third boob to me. and i feel naked w/out it. it fits comfortably in my bra. and it brings me pleasure. (since only friends and family can call me on it). :)

life, huH?

i'm soo. and i'm an addict. :(
