You can picture the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other…you see, some months ago I realized that the cost savings benefit of giving up my Palm Treo would outweigh the benefit of being able to read email in the supermarket. Well, THAT was 6 months ago, and now I’m jonesin’ for a shiny new Crackberry. Verizon won’t give me a discount on it until 2009 (OUCH!) so if I want one now, I will have to pony up the full retail ($430+ something). Agh.
I rely on Mary for technical advice and assistance with my website updates. Although I consider myself savvy, sometimes I worry that I know just enough to be dangerous. It is those times that I call in Mary. What takes her 1/2 hour to complete, equates to 4 hours of my time. They say, "leave it to the experts," and I say that Mary is mine!
