So today was an interesting day, to say the least. It started off with me waking up at 10:45 and realizing that my alarm had never gone off. (I was supposed to be in work for 9.) I looked at my phone and it wouldn’t do anything. I tried to turn it on (because I thought it might have shut off, thought that maybe the battery had magically died), but nothing happened. The odd thing was, the phone had had a good enough charge when I’d gone to bed. The even odder thing was, I had dreamed about something weird going on with my phone’s battery. I dreamed that the battery charged instantly when I plugged it in, rather than taking an hour or so. CREEPY.
I love music, because you can express anything in it. The new Blue October album fucking rocks! “The End” pretty much describes how I felt when a guy I once thought I loved cheated on me.
Anyway. ADHD, anyone?
I got dressed in seconds — amazing for me, I promise you! — and ran downstairs. I asked my dad if he was having any problems with his phone. In my half-awake state, I thought we were under electronic attack, ha ha ha! Dad tried plugging my phone in to see if it just needed to be charged, but when he plugged it in all we got was a giant battery on the screen with a lightening bolt through it.
Mean, mean battery.
I went to work, Dad brought my phone back to Best Buy, and then he met me after work to give me my babyBlackBerry and the brand new battery. After my second job and dinner, I went to Toys R Us and bought a Timex alarm clock. My old alarm clock stopped letting me set the alarm a couple of weeks ago, so I’d been using my phone instead of forking over the cash for a new alarm clock.
I guess that’s what I get.
Matt’s blackberry causes him issues too, only here they told us that we’d have to send his damn blackberry away and use a loaner – yet they wouldn’t cut off the data plan payments while he had stupid loaner phone so he refused to send it off and just deals with it dying ALL THE TIME. And when I call him from my cell, it rings 3 times and disconnects. I can never get his voicemail, which is what I look for half the time to remind him to pick something up. EVIL BLACKBERRY
@Sarcastica: The BlackBerry seems to be really buggy. /: My dad had problems with his and had to exchange it, my sister is having problems with hers and has to exchange it, and there was the problem with my battery (and I’m hoping that the rest of my phone is fine). We’re probably going to put insurance on them.
That’s messed up, that you’d have to send away for a new one and still continue to pay. Stupid, stupid phone companies.
