Going phoneless

Another phone has gone. This time mine. :) A young guy drop by at the office this morning, asking for Vestine. He said he has some papers for here. I answered that she'll probably come in half an hour or so. But he said it's urgent and asked if I have her phone number. I gave him my cellphone to call her. He started to talk to her, asking when she'll be in the office, and suddenly started to run away...

I'm too naive sometimes.. :) OK, it was old and crappy phone, but still..

Although, maybe this incident is not that bad at the end. I made a list of several benefits of having no phone. Here’s what I came up with:
  • No more phone bill
  • No roaming fees
  • No more international billing tricks
  • No more phone calls during dinner
  • No more being woken up in the middle of the night
  • No more being distracted by Facebook or Twitter or Foursquare every free moment
  • No more arguments about whether your iPhone is better than my Android or Blackberry
  • No more checking my phone to see if I missed a text message
  • No more worry about brain cancer
  • Smaller carbon footprint
  • More freedom
  • More presence in the moment
  • More money left at the end of the month
Sounds good, doesn't it? Seems like I have a solid case on this one. But it's more likely I'll go and buy another one this afternoon... :)
