The vent is about closed

I could come up with a million things to be pissy about, but not today.

I'll just say that the day started out strong, a long walk can help clear the mind and when the weather is nice-as it is most of the time in Colorado-you have to take advantage of it in the morning. It's so worth.

By the time I got a bunch of stuff accomplished, I decided to take a break and go look at new cell phones. I've been looking at switching to Sprint, and have some bucks stashed away from winning a couple of fantasy football leagues last year (yup, I'm a geek, fine). I even got a sweet coupon from Best Buy for a Palm Pre-the phone I was interested in. Since I'm on a month-to-month with AT&T, it can't hurt to look.
Well, has anyone had great service at Best Buy? I was there for 30 minutes and not one person would help me! Now, this isn't at all Best Buy's, because the one near my old apartment was very helpful and friendly. These people looked like they couldn't be bothered.
So, at least I got to look at the Pre-it's too small. I don't like the keyboard or the fact that the 3 demo models they had out all had that plastic overlay screen, so you couldn't play with it.
I then tried to check out the newest iPhone. Cool stuff, of course I'm interested in the applications, that's the whole point of the phone, but I wasn't stoked by the keypad. My stubby little fingers kept fat-fingering everything, so I could see me getting frustrated with that thing. Then there's the monthly cost of these things. I'm not a huge fan of Sprint, but I've been told by some folks that I trust that Sprint's network is great in Colorado. You can get phone, text and data all for $100 a month. Same stuff for AT&T? $150!!! That's how those Sprint commercials come up with that $1200 price difference over the life of a 2 year contract.

After that excursion, I have made the decision that this whole job search is just another testing ground for me to find stuff that I like and to keep with it. Oh, and one little other tidbit, to give myself a break every once in awhile. I do a pretty good job of blaming myself for things that are way out of my control.

Until tomorrow....nighty-nite.
