Phone on the Fritz

(Aimee here)

So, whenever you are offered insurance for your cell phone, for god's sake, take it. You never know when your phone will fall 6 floors down an elevator shaft.














However, when you receive your new phone ($50 later), know that 'new' is a critically relative term. It will be new to you. It will not be new in the universally accepted sense of newness (i.e. meaning recently assembled, possessed or used by no one else). The (Sprint's) definition of 'new' now includes the synonym 'refurbised' which, is by its own definition, NOT NEW.
















When your phone is lightly dropped again and you find that it is much less durable than a NEW phone (and apparently more

slippery), you will find yourself again at the phone counter paying for yet another replacement phone. I only say that to say this: if I do not respond to your call/vmail/text in the next few days it is because I am waiting on my 3rd NEW phone to arrive. . .slippery bastard.
