Little Green Men with Phones

I’ve hated my phone company for years. I hated them when they were my phone company years ago. I fired them, and paid for the privilege. Got a new phone company, and low and behold several years down the road they were “merged” with the hated first phone company. Well it turns out they were really taken over by the first company and all the crappy customer service came right back. Yeah, yeah I know, we all hate our phone companies, it’s a universal condition. I’m sure that when we finally meet up with those little green men from outer space, they will also hate their phone companies, and probably for all the same reasons: dropped calls, spotty coverage, and customer service personnel that are trained in only for sales. God help them if they show up here looking for better service!

Now I have a new phone company, which for the moment I’m happy with. I’ve got a new phone with a ton of bells and whistles. It’s a……..Blackberry, or as they are sometimes referred to…….. a Crackberry. I’ve got to tell you, I’m really beginning to see the Crackberry side of this thing. I’m already totally addicted. I get why Obama fought so hard to keep his. Of course, I still haven’t figured out how to retrieve my voice mail. But I know how to take a picture and email it from the phone. I’ve actually sent a successful text message, and entered my complete phone book!

But the very best thing about my new phone is, and this is something that only an older person will appreciate…I can read the screen without my glasses!! My phone is a snazzy red, too!
