telefono

I have been without a phone since August 20, a situation I admit to partly enjoying. I cancelled my cellphone account, which my mother was paying for, because it was no longer fair at my age for her to be footing the bill, and also because I hadn't actually had a physical phone for nearly 2 years, after I spilled water on it in Dec of 2006. My provider, Telus, wanted me to pay about $70 for a new battery, and there was no guarantee that the battery was the only problem. It would have cost me more I think for an assessment, so I stalled, telling myself I would look for another provider, which I couldn't really muster up the strength to do, as I can imagine few less interesting activities. So for a while I really only had voice mail, which was tolerable, and gave me the power to contact people when I wanted, and remain relatively unreachable myself. But now, sans phone, things are not so bad, but I am starting to feel the inconvenience, especially since I desperately want to look for another job, and can't really do that without a phone number. Maybe a pager would do. I'd be content with a land line, as a cellphone is not really something I particularly need. We'll see
