Squeak

mckitterick and I made a last-ditch effort to find my phone last night. After scouring the house, we decided to check the garage. We didn't find the phone, but we did find a mouse, still alive, in one of the glue traps. STUPID MICE. We put live traps out for you by your nests. We fill them with tasty food. Why you gotta come in the poison-filled garage, get stuck in a glue trap, and sentence yourselves to a slow, horrible death by dehydration/starvation?

At least I was able to end the little guy's suffering with a quick strike to his noggin with one of the shocks we removed from the Chevelle.

It was not a good end to the day, friends. Not good at all.

How is it we always find things we're not looking for when we're looking for something that's gone lost? And that ... was not a pretty find. Sorry, hon! *huggles*

I hope you find that phone.

It's been a week. I think that phone is gone baby, gone. Trying to order a new one now, but the customer service rep I got was so incompetent and rude I hung up on her. I'm waiting on a call back from a woman I worked with earlier today just so I can order a new phone.

:(

And that silly phone.. perhaps it's time for a folk plea:

Tony, Tony, come around.
Something's lost that can't be found.
If you help me out this time,
I'll leave for you a silver dime.

I'm giving up on finding it and just ordering a new one. Maybe. Trying, anyway. I was hoping to order it in time to get it to ship today, but I think that's not going to happen. Well, one more weekend without a phone won't kill me.

I haven't seen/heard the prayer to St. Anthony in at least 30 years. Ha ha...

A shame that my spare is a Verizon phone and not unlocked.
Are you thinking of going smartphone this time?

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I use it in desperate situations, and it always seems to work.
(and yes, I do donate a dime somewhere, as promised)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh hell no. I can't afford a smartphone--either buying it or paying the extra for a data plan.

God, no kidding. I have a bog standard pay as you go deal.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Don't they have any for free, and is Credo that expensive for data?

I'm holding on to my unlimited $29.99 data plan, because they are the last ones who offer it... and I tether my laptop to my phone for Internet often enough to make it worth it for me. Loads cheaper than paying DTV for Internet.

I'm only 9 months into my contract, so no free phones for me.

I think now I really need this tee shirt. Just saying.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Boo hisss!

ebay? (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=credo+mobile+phone) although on that Samsung, I'd check the ESN to make sure it's valid.

Can't use non-Credo-purchased phones.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Edit after research:
Actually, you can, as long as it's a Credo phone.

A thought.. have you set your service to call forward to work number while you're without a phone?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter. I already ordered the replacement phone.

And no, I haven't done anything. I can't be assed to care at this point.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

:D
Okay, I'll turn off "annoyingly helpful" mode.
I'm also bored at work, the phones have been down for an hour.

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

You've earned it...

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I think I'd rather have the Sam & Dean tee, though...
