Age is showing

I'm not sure what's worse, the white hairs on my head or the fact that I couldn't operate a brand new phone?
It's kinda embarrassing to be honest, I haven't been having much luck with my phone lately, between the "really I didn't get a missed call" and "what did you say I didn't hear you, wait let me move somewhere"!! I wanted to throw my phone up against a wall, thankfully I was up for an upgrade. I paced the store twice and the online store probably more like 10 times, looking at all the phones and options available to me. I'm thinking ewww I like that phone!! "whew, they want how much for that!!" OMG! Really? Why do they have to cost so much, and they never seem to work well getting close to your contract ending. I suppose that's part of the hidden plan that have for us, you keep buying new better more expensive phones hoping that it will be better then the next.
So my first two trips to the store were horrible, the people in there could have cared less I didn't wanna spend anymore, they didn't even try to help me find a solution to my growing phone bill plan. I left each time more frustrated then the time before and still stuck with this stupid phone. Which by the way won't hold a charge even a full day, I barley make it threw 3/4 of a day even 1 bar of power.
The second time I thought surely this can not be the service I'm going to get, so I went to the original store in our town the smaller burger king size store!! Why they built that huge flashy store I probably will never know, but it was not necessary.

The guy behind the counter said what's important to you? OH! well in that case getting all my phone calls and messages and being able to hear people. He sorta laughed at me. But that's okay, cause he was about to actually help me! Now I don't know about anyone else but I'm extremely old fashion when it comes to manners, helping others, and not jipping someone! SO, so far I 've had not so great of luck with these not so much younger then me yuppies working at these stores. Yet I probably sound like an old lady when I try explaining to them, but I still don't feel they have to get so snotty with me.

He showed me phones, and I decide on one, it has bells, whistles, horns, flashers, sparkles, glitter, and I even think a parade!! I'm not over doing that either, this dang phone had so much stuff on it, I wasn't sure if I needed to put it in a shadow box and saver it so it didn't get used and break, or get a genius degree some where. I messed with that darn thing for ever read manuals and messed with it some more. When you can't figure out or rather it takes you 10 minutes to figure out how to do something, it might be to much, he says use it for one week before you decide. Well the whole day I used the phone all I could think about was my old piece of pooie phone and how much I wanted it back so I could function threw my calls and text. That's sad considering I wanted to throw it up against the wall only days before.

THIS makes me and my age show. No I'm not super old okay not even close, but I'm old enough that all this flashy snazy new technology is over my head and I don't wanna touch it!

I walked outta there the second time with a phone that looks like one from 3 or 4 years ago, it's so simple it was sorta disappointing when I first started using it. But then I thought ha but I am using it and I don't have to worry about "OMG, what'd I just do, crap I hope I don't get charged extra for that" Cause I can't afford "Ooops"

Maybe next year or when ever I'm due for another upgrade I'll be ready for this fancy ever evolving technology!
