Me and My Cell Phone

Why I remember this, I have no idea. My mind often stores facts that really aren't that important.

Today, I've had my current cell phone for one year.

You have to understand that only a few years ago, I told to anyone who would listen that I would never own a cell phone, that I had no need to be in constant communication.

A few years ago, I got one. It didn’t work out. I could never remember to turn the thing on and I thought the price I was paying was too much. I got rid of it.

A year ago, I decided again to try and get into the 21^st century and I got another one – a cheap Cricket, you know that little blue cell phone. I focused on making every attempt to keep the thing on and actually use it.

Now, I’m like everybody else. I’m in constant communication.

If you come into Madonna’s Bar and Grill on Seventh Street downtown, you’ll often find me having a few drinks and talking on my cell phone. I’m even thinking of upgrading soon.

Look what I’ve become.

Just remember when you don't feel like being in "constant communication" you can always turn the thing off.

I think cell phones turn people into being rude.

I'm a cashier at a pharmacy and some people in line can't even get off their cell phones when making a purchase. They don't even look at me half the time. Rude!

I thought I was the last person to own a cell phone. I guess I beat you by a slim margin.

I couldn't live without it now. My job would be impossible without it.
