Cell phone problem solved!

Well...after having NO service ALL day today...I had had it! I had three voicemails that I could not retrieve and I hung up on numerous people numerous time attempting to have a full conversation. I called up my friend Sarah and I dragged her ass to Verizon. I went to one store and he told me that I had to go to the Verizon store on RT 144. So I filled my gas tank up, grabbed a coffee and off I went.

We entered the store and were greeted by a well groomed lad in a blue shirt. I told him my story and he proceeded to try to call some number that would reset my settings. After discovering that he was not going to get ANY service what-so-ever on my phone..he told me to go the service center and that I was number 3 on the waiting list.

We waited in the store for 15-20 minutes and finally my name was called. We were greeted by a little computer dork named Eric. I explained that to him my problem and thinking it was a quick fix removed my battery and was about to send me on my way. I got excited a little too soon....after I walked half a step, there was no signal once again!

He took out a box and and started to program a new phone for me. The programming took quite a while! Sarah and I chatted with Eric for about 45min. We learned quite a bit about this boy. He has just moved here from CO and he is 26 years old. He was in the army for 6 years. He was a really cool guy. After all my contacts were put back into my phone (of course my games, ring tones and photos are not there:() I thanked him a ton and we were off.

In the car, Sarah and I were talking about whether we should have asked for his number and asked him if he wanted to chill or something. But not soon after that, I received a TEXT message from the cell phone master himself. He basically texted to give us his name, and also his phone number..hehe. So needless to say, I texted him back and said hi and thanks and also asked if might want to chill sometime. To make a long story short he texted back and said being new to the area he would love to hang out with new people!

So not only did I come home with a new phone, but a potential friend. I will blog more about this if we ever do chill with this boy. I just wonder what he is like when he is not behind a computer...hehehehe.
