Instead of having my own cell phone, my company provides me with one. It’s one of the many perks I get for working for “The Most Awesome Company Ever”.
For the last year and a half the phone that they gave us weighed about 5lbs and was as thick as my fat fingers. Ok, maybe it wasn’t that thick but it was a clunker. It was black and had a green display that was very reminiscent of The Matrix . It did not have any colours and the screen was about the size of a piece of stick of Juicy Fruit Gum.
I called it my “Batman” phone because it had some cool little black ridges on it. But it was free. And well free is not just good, it’s awesome. I happily used that phone and still gave it love when it would only hold a charge for six hours in standby mode.
Then our Office Manager declared that it was time for a new plan and…new phones! It was like Christmas. Emails flying around debating the pros and cons for each phone available to us. I ended up chosing the Razr V3 because I’m shallow and really liked the way the phone looked. Besides it was a flip phone and I’m big on flip phones.
I’ve had my Razr for a few months now and still don’t know and don’t really care about all the little things it can do except for the fact that I can put my own ringtones on it. With the help of a friend at work, I now have The Addams Family as my ringtone and it makes me grin like an idiot every time I hear it.
It takes so little to make me happy.
