Things You Recently Bought or Got, Redux

A new toilet, since the old one was leaking.

And a new razor, since the old one vanished while my new toilet was being fitted.

I bought 3 new phones. Not thrilled about it, but the old ones were 5 years old and beginning to die. Husband's was the worst, deciding to embellish itself with lime green lines up and down the screen, and he needs it for work.

Phones suck. The necessity of phones sucks even more. I can't do my job without one. And it gets worse and more necessary every year. It hasn't happened yet, but I don't think I could hire somebody without one. They would be unable to access the things their job would require.

That is so fucked up I'm sad now.

My husband is a foreman for a fence company. He can't do his job without one. He has apps to help him find property lines/pins for the residential jobs, he has to read contracts, communicate with his crews and customers, let the office know what materials to order. Then you add in the rate/state jobs and all the reasons you need a phone get exponentially worse. You would think you could get away without one in construction but nope, not even there.
