!@*$ Phone Part II

Ok, so I spent the entire noon hour plus at the Verizon store. They were trying manually reset my phone. After sitting there for 45 minutes (give or take 10 minutes), I decided to get a bite to eat. Go to Chipotle. Dine-in and have the usual. Go back and they still have not got my phone up and running. So more sitting at the store. Then standing. Then more sitting. Then more standing. This got old real quick.

I asked if they could just replace the phone. I am not eligible for an upgrade until November, but at least my phone is under warranty. They said you could get a new phone, but it would cost a lot. They don't carry replacement phones in the store so I have to wait until Tuesday to get a new phone. What the hell!? After god knows how long, another associate was able to power start my phone to get me through the next couple of days. At least I will be ok for the next day or so while I am waiting for a new phone.

So another rant with in a rant...

So I am at the Verizon store and one of the other associates was butting in to my business with my phone. First off, stay the hell out of the way. If she actually listened to any of the conversation, the battery was removed several times. One more time is not going to solve the issue. Second, don't show up to work looking like you are doing the walk of shame. Is it really that hard to stop at home to take a shower to wash a majority of the same out of your hair before showing up to work? Another thing...you really had to use the whore makeup to go to work. Last I checked, Verizon store is a place of business, not a night club.

I really like my service at Verizon. The people are very cooperative and help out. The exception is the Verizon store in St. Cloud. They suck. I have cussed them out several times. I have had no other problems at other stores.

The story will continue on Tuesday...

!@*$ Phone

So last night I was at my in-laws checking scores and what not on my phone until it decided that it didn't want to cooperate with me. I think it is something with the SD card. I restarted my phone. That didn't help. I removed the battery. That reset my phone to December 31, 2004 at 6pm. What is really weird about this whole thing is that I can make phone calls, text, and with a little maneuvering, browse the internet.

This has happened to me before. Usually with in a couple of hours, it fixes itself. Not in this case. I check it out this morning and it is January 1, 2005. Happy New Year, everyone!

!@*$.....

At least the Verizon store is not that far away so I can go in and get this fixed. I just thing something with the coding got screwed up and everything is going to be fine. The phone still works. The phone is lucky that I do not have much to do today other than the usual Sunday routine of laundry, grocery shopping and vegging out. Maybe get Chipotle for lunch because it is not that far away.

To be continued.....
