RE: Nothing is lost until your mom can't find it...

I am a Nokia user too. This was the last one that I had before buying a smart phone last 2013 I think. This is so precious to me because this was the first colored screen unit of Nokia. My husband gave this to me as a birthday present. I think I used this for ten years? I guess! Haha. Even when I had the smart phone I still used this because even when I'm driving I can still text because my fingers and the keypad are bff's.... Haha. My fingers know all the letters and symbols already. How many presses to go to a certain letter or symbol ...... One time I was mocked and made fun on one of our executives before when we had our Mancom meeting where I used to work. She made fun of my phone because all of the Managers and even the lower ranks uses the latest smart Samsung phones. She told me why are you still using your Jurassic phone? In front of the rest of the attendees while we were waiting for our big boss inside the conference room.... And you know what I replied!

I said: Ma'am never underestimate this Jurassic phone because even if it's old and worn out, you can't see the letters anymore but this one ai love so much because it is very reliable that even if I am driving I can still communicate with it my fingers know how to type. it's small so it can fit inside my pocket. I don't worry If it will fall because even if I will throw it, it won't break also if I will loose it, it will not be very painful because I have used it for many years it has served its time and has served its purpose unlike the smart phones that everyone has but still paying them under their credit cards or on loan from the network companies who are offering a lot of new smart phones which are very expensive.
I said ai am using it but I can sleep well at night not thinking of any loans. I told her I don't use my phone just to please anyone. I use it for its sole purpose and that is to communicate which it is really what it is doing.
And lastly, I said. Well only if we give incentives to top grossing stores, I would have many smart phones already for all three stores that were under me always top beyond our monthly sales quota.
I can't wait to be an executive Ma'am so I too will have a free smart phone!😄😄 Of course I said this last part in a funny joking way... Or I might get a reprimand..😂😂
Haha, I left her speechless.

Then the other fellow Managers did a second the motion by saying, oh yah, nothing can beat Nokia phones. They are old but very reliable. Then the other one told stories about leaving her Nokia phone inside the washing machine that it still worked even after it was washed.😊😄

Which I happily contributed my own experience as well. Had the same experience with hubby's 3310 Nokia phone. It still worked.
Well, everyone in the room really don't liked that executive for she got her position because she is liked by the Big Boss.... You know the beautiful sexy kinds... Haha
Beautiful but lacked the brains.
Very tactless!
Oh my, typing this story stirred back not so good emotions., Oh dear, oh dear!😁😅😅
This still works but same as you, can't seem to find the charger as well... Haha.

Hope you find the charger for your xiao mi band 5 so you can count your steps dear.
Btw, is there a way you can purchase only the chargers?. Maybe you can find some sellers online. Here in my country you can just about anything that is second hand.😊😄

Sort:  

Wow, you still have that Nokia!
You also got the phone from your husband and it served you for several years- it must be a sign - the phones we get from our husbands last longer hahah. Just kidding the reason is that these phones were durable, and of good quality.
Yeah, I also remember knowing to type without looking at the keyboard, and how many times to press a certain key to get the desired letter haha.
You responded very well to your boss, I am glad you know how to "fight" for yourself and not let yourself be mocked. 👌

I hope you will find the charger for this Nokia in the photo one day (if not, I can send you one hahah, I do have one from them) and for the Xiaomi band, well, I gave up on searching. I was so occupied with other things (and that is why I am late with my response to your comment, my apologies)

Have a great New Year @aideleijoie and thank you for this great comment!! 🙌
