I guess it's been a year and a half since the last post. Not because I haven't thought about blogging, just never got around to it. Today I have 3 chief complaints: 1) Cell phones suck; 2) Children need to sleep; and 3) People's annoying habits.
First, my cell phone all of a sudden will not vibrate AT ALL. Considering what I do, Ring and Silent aren't options. I've battled this for over a week and constantly missing phone calls and getting messages hours later is not gonna work. So we go to Verizon today and the sales girl is like, "Let me take a look." As if I'm 85 and these phone thingies stump me! Then she says, "I've tried everything and your phone won't vibrate." Well no kidding Sherlock! She says that they need to do a hard reset and if that doesn't work, then they can check to see if within warranty. I shut her down (oh if I'd have just waited for one more sentence!), and told her no to the hard reset because there was info I needed to get off my phone first. Oh did I mention, her first question was whether I was eligible for an upgrade? Look B, if I wanted a new phone, I'd have come in and said, I'm looking for a new phone. Geez.
So I come home and write down what I think I need from my phone, completely forgetting the info on my Memo App! I do the hard reset and wait for it...still no vibration. The hubby happens to get on the phone with Verizon for other reasons and I ask about my phone. Well turns out, the process is hard reset, check for warranty and then, YOU'RE SCREWED because the phone is not considered "broken" for insurance purposes. Major BS. Now I get to either, a) deal with a non-vibrating phone and reset this piece of crap up; b) go by a new phone within the next couple of days; or c) both. What a waste. An seriously, how can I trust the next phone?
Skipping to number 3. Please, please, please don't repeat what I say 5 minutes after I've said it as if it is a new and enlightened idea! If I'm pissed off, repeating me is not a good move, it also does not qualify under "I was just trying to help." If you want to help, sympathize with this phone bullcrap and move on. No fixes needed, unless you can make my phone vibrate!
Lastly, why is my child 2 months shy of being 2 and still waking up at least once a night? I mean, is it going to take me running off the road and into a coma to get some consistent sleep? He doesn't even want anything when he wakes up. I mean sometimes Binky is missing or his diaper is full (by the way, no fluids after 6 pm isn't remedying that situation AT ALL), but still! I really don't know what to do. I will pray (as always), but maybe it isn't God's will that I sleep. I don't know. I'm just tired and annoyed.
Good Night.
