The folks at Sprint totally had me by the balls.
The wheel on my Blackberry had mysteriously fallen off and try as I might to remedy the situation, the little thingy holding it in place wouldn't stay put.
Stay put, thingy! For the love of God!
My choices were few: pay the fifty-five bucks to have the tiny part replaced...agree to pay $7 a month extra for insurance...OR send Blackberry away to be repaired free of charge and have it returned to me TWO WEEKS LATER.
Two weeks? Visibly shaken, I took a moment to pull my shit together.
I wouldn't call Blackberry a cell phone so much as an extension of my left hand. A fortnight apart just might prove to be too much for our relationship. (We're very close. Like Bella and Edward, only more intense.) As it was, I'd shimmied the wheel back in so I could fit some texting in over my lunch break! (I was texting on a broken crackberry! I was out of control! Aaaaaah!)
I opted to pay for the insurance. I relinquished Blackberry over to the dude behind the counter and immediately wished I could text Hubby to see if I'd done the right thing. But I couldn't text him. I couldn't text anybody!
"This should just be a few minutes," he assured me. I took a seat and decided to check my Facebook status updates. Oh wait, I couldn't do that either. I suppose I could...read?
Three minutes later my Blackberry was returned to me. One minute later I was placing a phone call. There should be a support group for this kind of dependence.
You have been robbed. Sprint should be ashamed of themselves.

Be grateful you don't have an IPhone.
I watch you tube,check facebook,twitter,get a daily tarot reading, download new songs........the list is endless & I'll do it anywhere, any chance I get!
Aaaaah if there's no wi-fi I cry!
I need help......this is why Eddie Izzard thinks I'm stalking him.

The worst part is I went into work today and turns out my boss has a bunch of spare BlackBerry parts.
PS: I never knew sexting was even a word! Kids today are pigs.

I hear you loud and clear, I would be lost without my blackberry. My nephew decided to place mine in the dogs water bowl a few months ago, I nearly had a panic attack! One day without it and I felt like I was without part of my soul! Ahhh, what did we ever do without it...

It's probably the only possession I won't allow Lukey to touch. And that's really saying something, since I can't say no to him!! :)
