way to go, verizon customer service -


so i went to the verizon store because the end of my antennae had come off.  based on years of conditioning with sprint, i fully expected to have to pay $30 for the missing piece which they would then have to order and i’d have to come back to the store for them to install.  

imagine my surprise when tey gave me a brand-new phone!!  which is a very good thing, because my protective window for the camera was also broken.  about ten minutes later i left the store with a brand new phone.  go verizon!  i love nice customer service! =)

repainting. . .

so my apartment complex owners decided that it was a good idea to repaint the complex.  that’s all well and good but the nasty part was the high pressure washing they did to prep the walls.  i’ve had to constantly move stuff so that it wont’ be destroyed, and to make matters worse, when they finally DID water-blast my back porch, i found that my back door is, alas, NOT water tight.  water – apparently under great pressure - came flying into the kitchen.  fortunately i happened to be in the kitchen, so i flung myself against the door to try to keep the water out.  it was like being on the titanic or something.  when the blasting finally stopped, there was at least an inch of water on my floor.   but for my neighbors who WEREN’T home  to throw their body weight against the whatever-PSI that was blasting at their back doors, well, I don’t know HOW many inches of indoor flash-flood they will come home to.  it’s not going to be a pretty sight this evening. . .
