Tuesday 1/23
Another dusting of snow this morning – just enough to make some things slippery. I had thought to drive to MD today to do a business transaction but changed my mind and g’daughter and I did it by mail. Then we went to the Verizon store in Harrisburg and I signed up for a Verizon cellphone. Tomorrow I’ll go to the Cingular kiosk in the Lebanon mall and cancel my account with them. I have until Feb 2 but want to get it underway ASAP. I am fed up to the eyebrows with Cingular. Son Gene sent me an email saying he had read Consumer’s Digest and they have rated Cingular as the lowest in customer approval. They can add one more to that!
Right now I’ve got the new phone charging. I didn’t want any bells and whistles on this one, but unfortunately I got several. I can take pictures – isn’t that wonderful!!! said with a great deal of tongue-in-cheek – and who knows what else. And the darn phone was $129 with a $50 rebate. Who needs all that stuff – wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could still buy just a plain old I-call-you-you-call-me phone and not have to mess with learning all that other stuff or paying for it without using it or paying for it period!
I’m grumpy today – it rather discombobulated me to have to pay that much for the phone PLUS the first month fees, the car charger, tax – suffice to say that I have definitely run over my month’s budget.
So – I guess I’ll go have a small glass of wine and read a while. Take care everyone and stay warm, dry and de-iced!
