I'm only now getting back to work - we had the in-laws over for a brunch, and my morning was swallowed by my own mistakes. Last night, on my way to Smalltalk Meetup, I lost my phone. Somehow, it slipped out of my pocket on the metro - so much for that. I went to the Verizon store this morning, and ran into a few hurdles. They were actually quite nice - they let me replace my old phone for the upgrade price even though I had no insurance and had bought the new phone just 6 months ago. It still took forever - the guy in front of me in the service line wanted a personal introduction to every feature on his new phone, and I had to wait to get my address book transferred from my penultimate phone to the new one - complicated by the old phone's complete lack of charge. That ate up 2 1/2 hours. I'm happy with Verizon's service, I just wish it hadn't chewed my morning up...
