Resistance is futile....

air_n_darkness...I have been assimilated.
I. Have. A. Cell Phone.
Some of the my friends may recall that I have always had an aversion to cell phones. I have even had an RPG character that had this bad habit of doing the dance of death upon any cell phone that crossed her path. NO ONE needs to be able to find me 24/7, except maybe my husband, and I'm not so sure about he counts. Those damnable devices are largely responsible for the sharp decline in the good manners, intelligent conversation, and general sanity of the majority of people. They are evil! Evil pure and simple!
So WHY, pray, have I relented? What could have caused me, the great naysayer herself, to not only agree to carry a cell phone, but participate in its selection and purchase?
My husband. My darling, dear, husband. That's what. And two business that are doing well.
See, the plumbing company he manages has grown by leaps and bounds in the past 6 months. Likewise, our tournament organization/online single's sales business has also grown. Up till now, Lynson has been taking all the business calls on his cell, which was fine while he was working in the office. But since they're so busy w/ the plumbing company now, he's working in the field almost every day. Soooooo, I needed to get a phone, so I can take all the CCG Innovations calls, and he can just handle the plumbing company. 'Cause we were NOT putting our home number on the website.
So we went to Best Buy Friday night and got me a Samsung A900 (I rolled when I saw![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
archmage had gotten the same one;). I admit to knowing jack about phones; Lynson picked it out. I gave him two criteria: it had to be small enough to fit in my back jeans pocket (I never carry a purse) and durable. He gave me the choice between the Razor or the A900. The razor seemed flimsy to me, so I went w/ the A900. I also insisted upon a Bluetooth headset, because without it I'd never answer the phone when driving or otherwise out and about.
I am looking forward to one thing about having the phone: the ringtone. A friend converted Number 6's theme from the new Battlestar Galactica series into an MP3 and made it into his ring. He's going to do the same for me. Yeah, sexy Cylons talking in my head...I'm going to make Reid and Mike SO jealous at the TO conference in Vegas next month!
All and all, it's not the end of the world, but I imagine people in hell are enjoying the snow...
Hmm, maybe THAT's why we got icy mess this weekend:p!
