I CALL IT "MY LET'S MAKE MY LIFE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT PLAN"!!!
So, being somewhat new to the whole cell phone world without a land line I was not sure what I should do in terms of a minutes plan. T-Mobile suggested that I go with 1,000 minutes plus free evenings/weekends. Sounded good to me as I could not imagine being on the phone for more than 1,000 minutes a month anyway. I don't really like chatting on the phone. And, for the first 2 months this plan worked fine.
However, upon my arrival in San Francisco I think I am now seeing a "real time" glimpse of my phone use.
Well, once again, I screwed myself. My bill came in on Monday. The bill for one month came to $595.00. Now, normally this would send me into a fit of anger and panic. However, given all of the many challenges I've been facing as of late my only reaction was to laugh. I mean, really -- what else can I do?
I called T-Mobile up and they helped me find a plan that will "better" fit my needs! In fact, the one to which I upgraded would have allowed me an additional 800 minutes for this past bill if I had been on it. The operator was very friendly and asked me if paying the bill was going to be a problem. I told her it would, but I would figure it out and get back to them. OY!
Alan asked me what I was going to do. I told him I was now applying the Scarlett O'Hara approach and would simply worry about it "tomorrow" ...or within 31 days when I have to do something to prevent the loss of my cell phone service.
I've now applied to 250 positions in San Francisco, met with 4 headhunter agencies and several temp agencies. I can't find a temp agency that wants to use me because they feel my resume and experience level would "intimidate" their clients to whom I would be reporting for the temp assignment. However, the head hunters are much more positive. So -- I continue to plug away!
Suddenly my little Hello Kitty cell phone wall paper seems to look a bit sinister to me! LOL!

How many minutes did you go over by?
You should go for less minutes and choose a roll over plan. which I believe that T Mobile has. Say you have 800 anytime minutes and only use 500- the next month, you'll have 1100 anytime minutes! Hasn't Catherine Zeta JOnes taught you anything? ^_~
I tend to close off when I hear or see CZ Jones, but the plan I went with does have roll over minutes. So, I think am all set. Excepting the bill for last month! LOL!
It's crazy isnt it Matty...just take ya time...shove an avocado up all the gay bashin employers' ass while ya at it...a bloke like you should get a job easy peasy...
Hang in there buddy...
CZJ isn't my favorite but I loathe dealing with Cingular, where Satan's Minions work, so when I decided to get a new cell, I went T Mobile too. :) That was the first week of April. Still haven't got a bill. Wonder where it is? Well, I got 600 minutes and I was afraid I'd chew them up but lo! I only used 147 minutes my first month. Need a life, don't I? (By the way, who've YOU been talking to, Mr. I Don't Like Talking On The Phone?)
