Made in Korea

My mother emailed me this morning that she needed to find out what kind of phone I have. Now that I have a car (mass celebration erupts around the world. No, you didn't miss that part, I haven't posted it yet. This is a bit out of order, but I will fill you in shortly, in the meantime, feel free to continue celebrating)

It really is not very safe to drive a car while talking on the phone. (Sorry, another interjection here. I think talking on the phone is actually not that big of a deal, for most people anyway. The real problem is dialing, you know, the part where you have to look at the phone and either scroll through 88 gazillion contacts to find the right one, or punch in the numbers you need...all this while NOT looking at the road or any of the other drivers around you) Anyway, it is also illegal in the state of NY to be on the phone while driving, so, I need a headset for my phone. (see car above and oh yeah, NY state doesn't care if you dial while driving, go a head and do that all day long!)

My point here...ah yes. It is only 9am. Here is my day so far summed up in the response email I sent to my Mother:


WHEW!!

That was a scare!

I took the battery out to see what type of phone it was but didn’t think to turn it off first. (Pls note, no morning coffee had been had up to this point!)

When I put the battery back in, it wouldn’t turn back on. I tried several times.

Went online to see if they had any info about what to do.

Went to the Samsung site specifically.

Entered in my model number and it told me that “We’re sorry, but no items match your query”!!!!

OKAY, my phone is not that old!

So then I tried finding it through the drop down menu thinking that maybe I some how input the info wrong.

Nope, not there either.

Now I am starting to think that I may spend my entire afternoon at the Verizon store with some guy named Cliff trying to get my phone to work because, HI! I am in the middle of trying to find a job and that number is the only one that those who have jobs have to contact me and I have just severed all connection with that world!

With a last ditch effort I decided to try the battery one last time because the definition of stupidity is doing something over and over and expecting a different result.

Unless it is a Samsung phone, model number SCH-A630 made in Korea…because then, then, for NO apparent reason, you will put the battery back in and the phone will turn on. And all will be right with the world today.

Okay, going to go get more coffee.
