I went to call them from my cell, and big surprise, it was nearly dead.
---
I had to get in my car and try and call them.
---
There is something also wrong with my cell, you can only charge it while off. Merely plugging it in while using it will not work.
---
I finally got them on the line...
---
Paid them the whole amount (so much for my condo fee being on time this month...)
---
She said she would have it on tomorrow before 4
---
Tomorrow???? I said..
---
"Yes, you can't expect same day service when you call after 4."
---
I made sure to hang up JUST before the first in a series of explicatives rushed out of my mouth
---
I went back inside, lit some candles, powered up my laptop and ....
---
watched it shut right down for lack of battery power
---
*sigh*
---
I had to get out of the house, possibly to the sprint store to get my phone repaired (the charging issue mentioned above, plus a broken antenna). I have full coverage for both parts and complete phone replacement. I dropped it off and they told me to come back at 8:00. I had a gift card for this kool new restaurant across the street. My friend met me and we had dinner...
---
returning to the sprint store on time ... I presented the receipt and was told
---
"Im sorry there is corrosion inside the phone, it must have been exposed to moisture. We can't touch it. We can't even replace your antenna. We could be held responsible for further damage. However, you are covered (I pay an additional monthly fee) for full replacement, give this number a call (hands me card) and you can have a new unit in two days. You don't have to send yours in until you receive the replacement. "

*RING*
---
"Hello...", menu option blah blah blah, $50 replacement deductable blah blah
---
WTF? I guess I'm keeping this piece of crap a while longer...
---
I went home. I sat there in the dark, candles dimly reflecting against the walls and table.
---
I had never felt so frustrated and isolated in my life.
---
:(
