Yesterday, Yevette needed some moral support in dealing with her cellphone company. I knew I was a victim right off the top as no cellphone company anywhere will fail to waste at least an hour of your time even if you're only asking about the weather. I really, really didn't want to do it but this was some advanced socialism as I needed to get some stuff and she needed to get some stuff so ...
There was no interest in 'smart phones' as Yevette hates them. All I need is a telephone. I don't need some expensive Nintendo junkbox just to play "Angry Birds" or some such.
Right you are, girl. So I was moral support as she got her phone replaced.
But then the beauty part: Yevette says for only $10 per month, an additional phone can be added to her contract. It will have unlimited minutes and a flip phone is free.
My response was predictable: I hate telephones.
But then it became a two-person offensive as the salesgirl said what about emergencies.
Of course I know how valuable they are for emergencies as I scooted all the way across Europe ... without one. Public telephones are gone just about everywhere. What elitist son of a bitch come up with that public-minded economy measure is unknown but the effect is the same anywhere. They're gone.
But I still didn't want one.
(Ed: you wound up with one anyway, yes?)
Roger that, Cap'n. There's no beating the emergency argument as you only look like a crank in trying it. The point is valid and silly to fight, particularly for $10 a month.
I don't even know the number just now but I will send it to family only. If there's a redheaded lady thinking she's not included, chuck that thinking and climb onboard, girl.
I won't change anything about Skype as it's the easiest way to talk because I use a headset and it's much more comfortable than holding a phone to my ear. Besides, a cellphone is local but Skype is global and it doesn't cost anything.
(Ed: did you send the number to the NSA yet?)
They already have it.
