Letting Go
After a week of playing with my new toy, I have decided that it wasn't for me. Yeah, it was nice having the phone because no one else had it, but besides that -- it was useless for me.
First, it was really big so I couldn't put it in my pocket so I was forced to wear this belt clip that jutted out 5 inches from my hip. I missed my old phone; it was small and sleek. The new phone ... wasn't. It was just complicated to use all of it features and the EV-DO connection didn't operate at the speeds promised. That combined with the $600 price tag didn't make it a sound investment. So, I called Sprint and had them switch my service back to my old phone.
I couldn't take the phone to the Sprint Store to get a refund, so I have to get a prepaid label mailed to me so I can ship it back to them. I am still thinking about getting a new phone, but I want a Bluetooth enable phone which Sprint only has two. The one I had and this small small non-flip phone which I don't like that much.
I think at the end of my contract I will switch over the Cingular because they have the Motorola RAZR phones. Those phones have Bluetooth and are really thin, hence the name. As a bonus my company offers an amazing discount for its employees who has/wants Cingular. This would mean I would have to get a new phone number, unless I fly back to Buffalo to switch my service. Since I will be in Dallas for a while the number change will be worth it.
Keeping in title of this post there is something else I need to let go of -- the last guy I dated, Michael (I decided to give him a name because it could get complicated if I end up dating more people. So I will apply a teaching from the movie Fight Club: when a person dies serving "Project Mayhem" they are then known by their real name. So if I dated someone, and it ends, they will be known by name. It will make things easier in the log run.). It has been over a month since I have seen him but I am not sure if I am completely over him. I tried to take the advice of Charlotte (York-McDougall-York-Goldenblatt) from Sex and the City:
...but this is reality and it never works out that way. I dated someone for a couple of years and was over them in a month or so, and dated someone for a month and it took almost a year and a half to get over them. Maybe it has something to do with the level of dysfunction in the relationship? The more dysfunctional the relationship, the longer it lasts, easier to get over the person; the less dysfunctional the relationship, the shorter the relationship, the harder it is to get over the person. I never thought about this until now, and I think I am a screwed for life if this true. Michael and I might get together this weekend so he can show me pictures of his trip. We were suppose to together last week but I didn't call him, so I left him a VM and I'll see if he calls me back.
Hopefully everything will work out.
