CRACKBERRY HAS CRACKED

UGH TODAY.

it all started at about 2 in the morning. i decided to update my blackberry's OS from 4.5.0.081 to 4.5.0.171, not a big change, but still better.

it was all going fine until the last step when i got a "fatal error" & then saw that my blackberry had the white screen of death, with the 507 error. This is the error you get when there is no OS on your phone. So I was like okay, i'll just go back in & re-install the old OS that I had before i tried to upgrade. no big deal.

... it would have been no big deal, if my blackberry would be recognized by my Device Manager. Not gonna go into more detail, but essentially there's NOTHING i can do. This did not prevent me from staying up until 6am trying to fix it, however. Even after that, when I try to sleep I got maybe like, 3 hours, & it wasn't even good sleep. I look like death right now haha, you wouldn't even believe it if you saw it. I look how I feel! haha

I called T-Mobile this morning (after Mom called me... since I have no alarm without my phone!). I was on with her for like an hour. I explained what happened & gave her all my info, & she was trying to troubleshoot & I just straight-up told her that if it could be trouble-shot it would have been last night. She relented & said we'd have to do the exchange. THEN she says "you have the 8900, right?"

UHM, NO. I have the 8320. I told her if she would like to give me an 8900 I would be PERFECTLY happy with that though haha. She said I'm in her system as having an 8900. So she took down my info & changed it.

NOW HERE'S THE KICKER: THE EXCHANGE PROCESS CAN'T EVEN BEGIN UNTIL MY INFO'S RIGHT (AT LEAST 24 HOURS). So at this point I was ready to just start sobbing again. She said they could send it out quickly to me when I call back tomorrow, but I said that won't work because I'm not paying 20+ bucks for shipping. Basically, I'm jedi master hustler because I got her to waive the shipping fee =]

So, I shall have it overnighted to me for free. Just gotta call tomorrow.

Until then, I feel SO detached from the world. Tonight's the FYS social I co-planned, & I can't even really talk to amanda (the other peer facilitator who planned it with me) about the details.

I can't call any of you because you're out of the area allowed by our room phones. So basically, email is the only option. It's awfulllllll. I feel so unorganized & ridiculous.

Speaking of technology not working, the RA computer in our office has a virus & is completely spazzing out & not working. & I had laptop issues earleir this morning as well.

I'm convinced the universe is sending me a message. Tomorrow's 10/10 day, which has this whole environmental connotation (basically, if we don't cut our emissions by 10% by the end of 2010, there is no hope to reverse climate change), so the 10:10 campaign is focused on that, which I'm a part of. So my thought is that the universe is telling me to focus more on my 10:10 pledge by eliminating a lot of my distractions! haha. I hear you, universe, just give me my blackberry!
