An overload of awesome

This morning I got up and discovered that my trusted pink BlackBerry was out of sorts. The trackball decided to no longer be willing to scroll in an upwards motion, thus making navigation utterly difficult and naturally making me feel as if my left arm had just been cut off.

My twin sister Natalie and I decided to walk over to the Verizon store and retrieve a replacement phone, a transaction that should take less than an hour, yes? Boy, were we wrong! We got to the Verizon store, which just happened to be about a ten block walk from my apartment, at 11:30AM.

Fast forward three hours in which I had to get an access code, pay for a replacement phone, forgo the pink BlackBerry for a shiny silver one, listen to the store associate tell me that the phone had to come from another store and would arrive in half an hour, and then when half an hour passes, tell me that the phone would arrive in another half an hour, at which point we left the store so I could go home, shower, change and pack for a photoshoot that I was to leave for at 2pm, walk back to the store only to have the store associate tell me that my new BlackBerry had not arrived yet, but he assured me that it would be there in five minutes, as he had just spoken to the driver who was in charge of returning me my left arm.

The time was now quarter after two so I borrowed Natalie's phone to leave a message for the photographer to let him know I was going to be late for my pick up time. 

The secret agent from the store yonder finally came and delivered my left arm in the form of a shiny new Silver BlackBerry and the store associate hurriedly activated it for me and sent me on my way, but not before thanking me for being so patient.

I got to the pick up location only fifiteen minutes after 3pm, quite proud of myself. The photo shoot was a blast and many amazing pictures were taken, will update more about it later, but right now I must head off to dream land!
