Just Lose It
I actually left my place @ the dark hour of 2am this morning bound for Hell’s Kitchen on a little excursion that I had no business going to and I fucking LEFT MY CELLPHONE in the cab on the ride back uptown. DAMMIT. I actually paused before I got outta the cab and thought, “God it would suck if I left my keys in here on accident” and it wasn’t till I was walking up the front steps of my building that I realized it wasn’t with me. Ugh, I’m offically a loser now, no better than a lost tourist in midtown or a person who’s kept the same clunky cellphone model for the past decade. I have lived in this city for 6 years and never once left a wallet or credit card or backpack or cellphone anywhere. Whenever hotel guests come up to me @ work needing help cuz they just left their cell in a cab, I always sigh and just shake my head cuz I already know they’ll never get it back. I watch them on the courtesy phone @ my desk, making their frantic calls to the NYC Limo Lost Luggage Department, describing their lost items, praying in futile faith that they’ll get it back: almost never happens, and I refuse to be one of those fools… except that I’m already one of those fools for leaving it in a cab to begin with. But I refuse to make it worse by calling up everyone in the world trying to get it back. As far as I’m concerned it was a sign to get a new phone, and I opened up my eyes I saw the sign.
Called TMobile to have them suspend the account till I get a new phone, which actually started to get me excited b/c I was like, “Cool I can upgrade! Get something better and cooler like the Siemens SL55!” but it was slim pickings. Turns out I’m eligible for a new FREE phone with the company… but not until Novemeber 10th. So if I get one now I have to pay a discounted price, which sucks. I mean, discounted is great but shit, I’d love Free a whole lot better. We’ll see what they can offer and I’ll probably just pay the damn difference. I can’t be cellularly-challenged in this city, all disconnected from the world — might as well be living in an outerborough.
Has my tune changed or what?? Ugh, I can’t believe I’m one of these people now. Just what I get for being all above the subway late at night and opting for an evil cab. Cabs are the devil’s work. So are late night bootycalls.
