Busted phone

[judecorp]

Crap on a crap cracker, my cell phone is busted. It just happened all of a sudden. It works just fine as long as I don't flip it open all the way. Yeah. Like you can really work the phone without opening it all the way.

Grrr! I don't want to shell out $200 on a new phone! I was hoping to ride the damned plan out and get a free phone. Grrrrrrrrrrr.

let me know what carrier you have. I have lots of cells in our lost and found (silly students). You'd have to buy a charger though.

I wish I could take you up on the offer but I need to have a working phone for work... which means I need to replace it tonight.

Sad.

Who's your service with? If it's Cingular, I have my previous phone (and headset and phone charger) that I'll sell you cheap. I was going to sell it on ebay.

It's Sprint. And I need a replacement phone tonight because I use my phone BIG TIME for work, what with being out of the office all day driving around.

But thanks anyway!

oh that sucks! :(

Oh well, now I have a fancy new camera phone!

If you use it for work, can't you write it off?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Maybe if I itemized tax deductions, which I don't. :)

[cappucinogrrl.livejournal.com]

I don't really know how these tax things work. Which means I'm not quite a grown up yet. Yay!

And, sorry about your phone. :-(

When you file taxes, you have two options: itemize all of your tax deductions or take a "standard deduction." The standard deduction is usually higher than what you would itemize unless you own a house. (When you own a house, you can deduct the interest you paid on your mortgage.) Since I take the standard deduction, there's no room for individual deductions like work expenses.

Make sense?

[cappucinogrrl.livejournal.com]

Yup. But I'm still gonna call you when I start doing my own taxes.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Okay. I love taxes!

do you have sprint pcs? I've got extra sprint phones lying around.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes I do, but we went and got a new phone tonight. Thanks for the offer, I needed the phone for work tomorrow! :)
