So, turns out I'll be here at work 'til 7am (EST). Third shift person's out, and I offered to cover in exchange for not coming in for my normal shift tomorrow afternoon. Pleasantly enough, this means I'll get to watch the Doctor Who finale live, instead of spending hours at work steadfastly avoiding spoilers. Also, it's a nice chance to help my boss/coworkers out; since I take so much FMLA I try to balance it out by being as helpful as I can when I am here, covering holidays and emergencies like tonight and such. And since I went through Farkas Pastries and West Side Market today, I have a plethora of goodies to get me through the night.

Third shift is obscenely quiet. Anyone who'd like a chance to chat and who'll still be up, it'd be a good time to catch me on GIM (sarah.whitman.young). I have a bit of project work to fiddle with, but not a huge amount, and I'll likely be bored and struggling to stay awake. If you'd like to catch me on some other IM service, send me an email or comment here or in FB, and I can generally make that happen.

Also, after years of generosity, Dad's finally asked us kids to pay our own way on the cell phones, so I'm looking at a replacement plan. I want an Android this time 'round, and I'm looking for an unlimited plan. Because I have pathetically bad credit, and because I don't think I want a long-term contract anyway, I'm looking at the pay-as-you-go services. Right now I'm looking at the Virgin Mobile $45/mo plan, which has unlimited data/text, and 1200 phone minutes. Anyone have feedback or recommendations/warnings in that regard? What about in terms of affordable Android phones? Anything you particularly love or loathe?

My only feedback on Virgin Mobile is, see if you can find out which network it's actually on, because that will determine coverage areas. (I have a very basic phone from them, for $25/month using the Sprint network.)

Very belatedly, thank you - this was really helpful advice!

I use Metro PCS. It has its problems but the pay-as-you-go works just fine for me.

i didn't like being on virgin, i'm with orange now, who...aren't bad lol. i think i pay £35 p/m for unlimited texts and internet and more minutes than i ever use. i always get some chares for calling my bank and other numbers that don't count towards minutes tho -_-

i've got a HTC desire and it's really good, appart from it comes with a load of stuff you can't delete unless you root it, which i haven't gotten round to.
