Do I really want a phone?


I seem to have a problem keeping a phone for any real length of time.  Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration?  Maybe not...  This is a picture of a phone that didn't make it.  (It's the 2nd time that happened to the same model phone, although under different circumstances).



Anyway, this past weekend I lost my phone, yet again.  Well, not really "lost".  It was left in a friend's vehicle after a July 4th party Friday night.  I didn't realize that I had even misplaced it until Sunday.  And after I figured out where it was, you'd think I'd rush out to get it, right?  You'd be wrong.



I mean, it's not like I can't get it.  I even told my friend who has it that I'd be by later Sunday afternoon to get it.  Yet even here on Monday night, I haven't managed to muster up the desire to retrieve my phone.



So I gotta ask myself, WTF?  I seem to be okay without it.  I've checked voicemail a few times from other phones.  I'm realizing that I don't want to use the phone.  Oh sure, there will be times I need to use it.  But I seem to have some subconscious aversion to phones?



Or...  Maybe that's looking at it too deep.  It's likely just clumsiness on my part (for misplacing the phone in the first place) and a clear-cut case of procrastination.



I'm sure I'll be getting it back on Tuesday, on my way in to work (why not today?  I had a dentist appointment in the morning).  So it's not like there's really a big drama over my phone or anything.  But... WTF is it with me and phones?



Oh well.  Just something more for me to ponder...
