So my Blackberry’s scroll-ball-thingy stopped working properly a while back. I finally got around to calling the Warranty people yesterday for my replacement. After doing a bunch of junk and turning off my phone and waiting on hold and getting super-secret numbers from my phone and getting the guy to call me back we determined that since I had owned the phone since August 2008, my warranty was void.
Now, I was well aware of that fact. Luckily, I had insurance so I got to do the whole song and dance all over again with the Insurance people. What fun. Finally, at around 3:15pm, I got done and was assured a replacement was heading my way. I got update e-mails and was allowed to track my package (ha)!
My new phone started its journey in Fort Worth, Texas yesterday at 3:35pm. From there, it went to the Fedex facility in Fort Worth, then to Memphis, Tennessee. Then it was shipped overnight to Latham, NY. By 7:35am, it was a mile from my home in the local Fedex facility. There it sat for 5 minutes before being loaded onto a truck. My Blackberry then went on a glorious tour of the Capital Region.
There’s no way to know exactly where my phone went today, but I’m pretty sure it had lunch before it got here at approximately 1:56pm, less than 23 hours after I asked for a new one.
Luckily, no one reads this, or I surely would have bored the living shit out of them. I was just kind of amazed by how quickly my new phone got from point A to point B. I guess I’m a simpleton who is amazed by things that aren’t all that amazing.
