Helicopter
A few days ago I broke down and bought a Blackberry phone. I didn’t get it because I thought it was cool, or anything like that. I got it because I needed a way to get my work emails and calendar sent to me wherever I am. I have missed several meetings because I would get busy and not notice the time. Now, my phone will warn me before the meetings so I can be sure not miss them.
The one I got has all kinds of cool features that I could care less about. Only once I thought it would have been cool to have a camera phone/video. It was during a sound check before a concert and Darlene Zschech was singing the best version of “Shout to the Lord” I have heard. Also, I’m not a guy who does text messaging. On our old phones, I had the feature turned off because people would try texting me and I would have to pay a dime for each one.
So now I have a helicopter, and I’m sure as time goes by I will use most stuff on it. The one I had with my previous employer had the phone turned off as I only used it for email. And that was pretty much all I used it for. But looking up a phone number for a store is pretty handy-dandy when a computer is not around.
