New Toy and Rant

Ya know when your bored and have nothing horribly exciting to say but eventually come up with something? Even if it's on the lame side? Well, today is that day...

Almost a month ago I upgraded to a new cell phone, after two years with Verizon, to a Palm Treo 700p. After being harassed at work for being obsolete with my communication choices I was talked into this unit. I can download nursing programs, math formulas and the like. Well...it was bulky and heavy, had an outside antenna, but it did have some pluses. So I bring it to work and show the girls I'm finally "with it" only to hear," why did you get that model, it's the old one?" Ok, so I can't win, BUT I have 30 days to exchange it and was told this over and over until it sunk it.

At 28 days into the service, yes, I'm stubborn (or lazy, I dunno) I finally trek down to the Verizon store in Gilroy. It's located in a new huge shopping area, much like the outlets.(btw, I hate the outlets). Take my box it came in only to find I was missing some cords, so back home I go. Grab the cords I left in my suitcase and head back to Gilroy, this is on a Friday night mind you. (Yes, I have no life)

Finally the sales lady shows me the new 755 Palm Treo, ah very nice, lighter in weight, slimmer and fits the ear better. SOLD ! I even got a 75 dollar refund, don't ask cuz I don't know. I think it had to do with my original online purchase. Now I must have a cover and my choices are...anyway you can see my choice above, I now call it my Red Phone.

I am also advised to upgrade to the full time internet connection for only ....tadaaa $49.99/month! This is on top of my National Calling, three other lines with text/picture and 1400 minutes! Plus, I have two other land lines, one here and in Idaho!!! I love to, or is it live to communicate???? All I know is if my youngest son downloads another song I'm gonna fry his hide.

I guess I'd better sign up for some overtime at work.....
