I got a kick ass phone for christmas last year... but I broke it at work in july because those jerks wouldn't give us flashlights, and i was using my phone as one...

anyways. the screen got smashed. it still worked, i just couldn't read anything.


and then we got text messaging so i started using my sisters old phone which barely holds a charge for a day.


now it won't charge.


so I'm off to go give ATT $100 or so dollars.

rat bastards.

Don't you get a new phone when you renew your contract? Just do that and free phone.

The place I worked at... we sold, assembled, and delivered office furniture.... and we needed flashlights on some jobs, but they refused to give them to us. They were just cheap...

Have you ever noticed that whenever something bad happens to you it's always some else's fault?

Dude, a keychain flashlight cost $2. How much does it really matter you had to buy one for yourself? Strrrrange battle to pick there.

How much is that phone again Capt. Brainiac?

Geez, if it's a year old, just buy a matching used one on Ebay. Probably cost you 30 bucks and work just fine. Move the card over to the replacement and it will work fine.

And if you needed a flashlight - WHY didn't you get your own carry one? No sympathy here. I have two in my desk, and I almost never need them. Seems to me like you didn't take reasonable action yourself to provide tools you needed. If I wre the boss and you needed a flashlight, I'd have said: Get one. Carry it. Discussion over.

It amazes me how easy it is to blame someone else for our own lack of action or planning. A mini-mag lite with belt holster is about $12 and you'll have it for years.

Yeah, I plan on getting a blackberry when I renew. I don't need one, they are just cool and make you look important.

Because Maki... I'm perfect.

I'm gonna take Mike's side on this one and say they really should have provided flashlights if the job requires them, unless they said during training "Oh hey, bring your own flashlight."

Also Mike, you get a new phone when you renew your contract. But if it's not any time soon then yeah, just go on eBay or something and get a phone you like for cheap.
