2.11.11

the details of this day i wish to never remember, or forget. it was a simple friday with not much going on.......or so i believed

6:30am - begin the morning by dropping my phone in the toilet. no i was not peeing standing up. i put it on a book that sits on the counter right next to the toilet and it slid off and fell into the toilet. tyler put it perfectly -"hun it wan't your fault, it was gravity's." thank you my dear. i completely agree that gravity is at fault here.
12:00pm - head to my mom's after work to visit eve and baby graham (#1 highlight of the day!) my toilet phone (completely turned off) starts to vibrate.
1:00pm - with vibrating toilet phone in hand i head to the at&t store to purchase a new one.
1:20pm - leave at&t store with my toilet phone quiet once again after the stupid salesman has wasted 20 mins of my time trying to sell me on a different phone. sir, don't you understand how crucial an iphone is for me. what would i do without words with friends?! don't know about this scrabble app? check it out! my current addiction.
1:25pm - call tyler from a pay phone at 7 eleven on state street (flashback to 1995) and tell him i'm heading to a different at&t store to purchase a new phone. his boss overhears our conversation and says "i have an extra iphone she can have." what?! um, yes please.
1:45pm - meet tyler at work to pick up my new phone. new phone is in better condition than toilet phone is before it became toilet phone. i just scored!
1:55pm - head to another at&t store to have them reset the phone
2:20pm - arrive home to meet a buddy of tyler's that's going to help us with a home repair project. #2 highlight of the day. new phone seems frozen on the boot up screen with the apple symbol. must still be resetting i think.
5:00pm - new phone is still frozen on the apple screen. huh, something seems fishy. tyler arrives home and plays with new phone. no luck. we decide i better run to the apple store to have them take a look at it.
6:00pm - arrive at apple store. they do a hard reset and get phone to work. hooray!! have a phone for the first time in 12 hours. i'm frantically calling people to make sure no one called or texted me and couldn't get through. i find out no one really noticed or cared. what. but how could that be?
6:30pm - arrive at my office to sync my phone. i plug it in, and dash to the bathroom. been holding that in all day it feels!
6:35pm - walk back to my office and discover i've locked myself out. perfect. my keys, purse, coat and new phone are all stuck inside.
6:37pm - deflated and feeling like a complete fool i walk downstairs to the company below and use their phone to call tyler. the conversation went like this
D: "hey, you're not going to believe what i just did."
T: "what?"
D: "i went to the bathroom and locked myself out of my office."
T: "are you being serious? well do you need your phone tonight or can we get it in the morning?"
D: "that's not really the problem. i locked my keys in there too."
T: "so you're telling me you have no way of getting home?" - growing a little bit irritated. can't imagine why.
D: "yep. i need you to call stuart (co-worker) and ask him to borrow his office key, and come let me in."
T: "okay, but we'll miss the dinner (we had dinner plans with tyler's friends)."
D: "you'll just have to go without me i guess." silence on the phone.....
T: "i'll call him and call you back at this number."
D: "okay, thanks hun. love you".

D: "oh crap."
7:00pm - tyler arrives at the office with just my spare car key. he tells me stuart is down at gateway and won't be back until 7:30. i'm in tears at this point. i hate this day.
7:10pm - arrive home and start to kill time until i can go get the office key, head back to the office and get my phone and then kill myself. just kidding, but at that point it sounded appealing.
8:15pm - finally get back into the office and grab my stuff. i drive straight to artic circle and buy myself a big chocolate malt. thankfully the day ended on a high note!

to my dear tyler, thank you for sticking by me. you are patient, understanding and tolerant of your often times brainless wife. i love you.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
