So, I ordered a replacement, from eBay so it wouldn’t cost soooooo much.  It shipped a couple days ago and as of now it’s in Phoenix, scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.  I’m considering taking bets: will it be left in the rental office or will I have to go to a UPS office to pick it up?  Will I be able to get it activated tomorrow, or the day after, or will I have to wait until Friday?  Will I get hit with an activation fee?

Ah, all the mystery of it all!  Stay tuned…

The battery’s gone by now. It short, it’s a paperweight. There’s a reward out.

So I don’t think “turn my cell phone the frack in already” is that much to ask.

Yell at seventh graders. Again.

Phone goes missing and gets across campus (I tracked it with Bluetooth from the laptop a bit) but never quite turns up. I find out how to suspend it to keep from having to pay for calls to China.

I get a refund for a book that I bought off Amazon and never got because they used a type of shipping where it was returned instead of forwarded. I provided an updated address before the book shipped, and they said they’d be in touch if it was returned, and they weren’t until I asked for an update because it had been two weeks. I got 39 cents back, they got to keep $3.99 and the book. Now I’m impressed with their customer service.

I get a year older; 24 now. I wasn’t even really used to 23–it was already just a little bit older than I thought I could ever be–so this is going to be interesting to try to keep track of.

In short…woooooooooooooooooooo…

I can live with that. And…it’s possible I was reading it wrong, since I’m still learning administratorese and I’ve been exposed, mostly, to the Oregon dialect…but I think she may have been trying to sell me on it, toward the end.

Anyway…yeah. Need to talk to the Arizona Department of Education, about how to make this legal. But I think I’ll be OK one way or another.

On the bad side, the battery’s quite dead, which I already knew but is still annoying. And I don’t know how many messages I’m going to have to listen through.

I really hope it’s in Rachel’s car–which would work, since I haven’t seen it since Thursday (carpool day)–’cause other than that, I’m out of ideas.
