Wasted morning...

except I sure got some walking in! I'll try to skip a lot of "details" so that this post won't be a novel. After texting my friend my usual morning text, I tried doing something else with my phone, and it was frozen. The only way to get ahold of my phone service is via phone (while they have a website, they don't have an email!). So, I went across the street and across the parking lot to the Staples office supply store, but was told they no longer fixed phones, and was given a business card for a guy downtown. I hopped a bus downtown, but I rarely go over there so I don't know my way around super well. I did some wandering around for half an hour trying to find the address on the card, without success. I started to ask a guy on the street, but he said "No clue" before I got the question all the way out of my mouth. I stopped in a restaurant that wasn't quite open, and asked a young man in there. Then a lady came up and said, "We're not open." and the young man explained I was asking for directions. The lady came out of the restaurant and told me which way to go and where to turn. I did, and found the place pretty easily. Unfortunately, the young man in the phone store didn't recognize my phone brand, and couldn't really help me. After that I found my way back to the bus stop so I could head home. I was starting to wear out. After I got home, I went to one neighbors, and she was in the middle of a meeting on her phone or on line or something. The only other neighbor I talk to very frequently wasn't home, neither was the one I tried upstairs from me. Finally I went to the office and explained my problem. The younger of the ladies there said that I could come in and use their phone anytime, and so I got ahold of the wireless people and explained my problem, and I was told that because my phone was under warranty I wouldn't have to pay for a new one, and a new phone would be coming in 3-5 business days. That's still longer than I would care for it to come, as I'm expecting a couple of important phone calls, but I guess it will have to do. I looked on ebay a minute ago and even found a cover/screen protector that will probably fit this goofy phone. I won't get it until I have the phone, though. Now, I need to post this because it's turning into a short story if not a novel. Hope your morning/afternoon/evening/etc. is going well in your part of myLot land!
