Cell phone, dammit

[pegkerr]

Well, the good news is that I got the new battery that was overnight shipped to me, and I put it in the phone and charged it.

The bad news is that after four hours of charging, the phone is still deader than a doornail. It's not the battery, it's the phone.

So now I have to wait still longer for them to ship the new phone to us.

I hope I can get them to eat that prior express delivery charge.

Makes me happy I'm using the cheapest phone I can get. I can go buy a new one at Target for $15-it's cheaper than buying a new battery.

Of course, my phone could be inoperative for a month and I might not notice. It's an odd month for me if I use more than about 5 minutes of airtime. We have essentially no service at home, and at work I have a work phone and nobody cares how much I use it.

They tried to buy me a Blackberry at work, it took a while to convince them that A) Nextel service doesn't exist at my house, and B) my entire life is spent at work where I have a computer and a phone and the BB is pointless, at home where I have a computer and a phone and the thing won't work, or going between the two. They couldn't understand that someone exists who never goes out to lunch, doesn't go shopping for a few hours at a time at lunch, doesn't go out to dinner, doesn't go to movies, etc.

Will you be coming to AppleCon at all this weekend? I brought you a tree. If not, who can I give it to to pass on to you?

Oh, dear, I'm dreadfully sorry that I missed answering this. It slipped my mind that you had left this comment (Fiona was having a sleepover birthday party on Friday night and I was frantically trying to work on getting ready for it, and then we were working on taxes all weekend, so I wasn't on LJ or checking my email at all). I wasn't at the con, as you probably surmised. Did you leave it with someone to pass on to me, or did you need my mailing address?

Once again, my humblest apologies. If you'd like to mail it, send it to:

Not to worry - I understand how busy you are. I left it with minnehaha K. I hope you like it.

Thanks! I'll be able to swing by some night on my way home from karate--it's right on the way.

Oh, no! That's terrible.
