Cell Phones

I hate speaking on the phone. I would much rather speak in person. I know I'm not the only one, but I like the way my voice sounds in my head, but when I hear myself on a voicemail or on video or something, I think I sound like a jerk. In order to counter-balance said jerk-hood, the interlocuter needs to be distracted by my smiling countenance. On the phone you can't really tell if I'm having a great time or if I'm secretly hoping the urban legend of getting cancer from the cell-phone is true.
Anyway, the whole point is moot, at least for the next couple of hours because MY CELL PHONE DIED! It only occurred to me now how much of a disaster this is. How will I ever be able to make plans? I could be a block away from the person I'm supposed to meet and I would never know. How did I survive until I was 18? How did I ever see anyone? And now it's even worse because we don't have a land-line in our apartment. But things get far worse even than that. I'm absolutely convinced that people are trying to get in touch with me so that they can offer me amazing jobs, which pay me quintuple what I'm making now. I'm also positive that the person who wants to set me up with my bashert is trying to reach me, and will probably just give up when they go straight to voicemail.
What makes the whole situation muddled is that I really hate my phone. Last June, Cingular Wireless forced me to switch my phone from an AT&T phone to a new Cingular phone, which was totally fine; I'm always up for getting a new phone. But then I got my new car, and I absolutely HAD to take advantage of the built-in bluetooth technology. Luckily it was still within the 30 days from when I got the new phone so I just exchanged it for free with a bluetooth phone. Aside from the RAZR($200) the only other bluetooth phone available at that time was the Motorola V557, which was twice the size of my old phone (samsung e317). Also, I hate Motorolas; I don't like the layout. Additionally, after a while, the speaker stopped working so well, so for the last year or so I've had to press the handset painfully against my ear whenever I want to talk. Now I could have exchanged the phone for the same one with a better speaker, but that would require effort, minimal though it might have been. I'm even eligible for a phone upgrade in 13 days, but what am I going to do until then? I'll see if I can get a temporary replacement. Until then, I'll just assume no one is trying to reach me. So, if you try to reach me, G-d knows why you would, know that I'll try my very best to get back to you after a reasonable time interval, as long as it requires absolutely no effort. I'm lazy, what can you do?
