Would you believe that I finally joined the world of touch screen phone? I changed my plan – or rather my carrier who does not support flip phones. I went with them on a whim. It will save us almost 10 dollars a month – which isn’t huge. But if I can save 5 dollars here and 10 dollars there, it adds up. Before you know I have save us 45 dollars not to mention the subscriptions to various things which adds up as well and before you know it I have removed over 100 dollars of unnecessary luxury spending.
So I now have a touch screen but have
learned that the automatic machines at the other end of the line don’t recognize
my pushing numbers. Oh, that is so not
cool. I am already annoyed with
automatic machines as it is. So
impersonal. How many jobs have been
replaced by machines? A company does not
have to pay wages to a machine.
`I like when the machine appears to
be as frustrated as I am and connects me to customer service. But this machine did not give me customer
service. It said that I would have to
try again. I can’t yell at the
machine. Well, I can, but it doesn’t
have voice recognition. That is why I’m
punching numbers. My touch screen gives
me exactly two seconds to tap on something or the screen disappears. AHHHHHHHH
