I got up extra early today so I could bake potatoes for our potluck at work. I think I baked them a little too hot or too long, but they weren’t bad. Heather’s husband made chili for her to bring, and Jason brought three sleeves of crackers. Dale brought a chopped onion. It was almost as though they were having a contest to see who could get out the cheapest. Gary threatened to bring salt and pepper, but he brought Fritos.<\/p>\n
After work, I went home and played a few rounds of PUBG by myself because nobody else was around. When Summer got home, I headed to her place. Then I dropped my phone onto her hardwood floor for the second time, and this time my screen protector didn’t take the hit. I shattered the top right corner of the screen.<\/p>\n
Fortunately I took up the insurance, but it’s agonizing all the same. I’ve never broken a phone like this before, plus it’s a hundred bucks I shouldn’t have to spend. Not having specific places to put my phone makes me erratic. I try to leave it in my pocket when I’m there, but then sometimes that’s not practical when I’m laying around. I thought I was being more careful after what happened last time. In fact, I was actually placing it onto the table to try and keep it from falling off the bed when it slid off, which is what was so incredibly frustrating about this.<\/p>\n
At least the insurance claim was painless to file. A quick chat with Fi customer service got me an email to agree to terms, then an email with a link to order a new phone. I ordered another pair of screen protectors<\/a> as well, though I thought I’d try a different brand from the last pair I got<\/a>. I guess we’ll see how long this lasts. This is, without a doubt, the most fragile phone I’ve ever owned.<\/p>\n Current Mood: Stewing<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got up extra early today so I could bake potatoes for our potluck at work.
