Man.

I found out this morning around 5am that my phone was just not charging. I looked at the charge port and could see something was wrong. I don’t know how, what, why or WHO but somehow moisture got in there. The damn fucking port SIZZLED at one point while I was trying to charge it and that’s when I knew the shit was fried. But I held out hope. Figured, maybe it was just my USB cable *yea right*. Took it into the store and this fool gonna tell me I need to send it in for service (which I was dreading) and I’ll have to pay $150 for a loaner phone in the mean time but I’d get that back when my phone comes in. I looked at him like he wanted a box but I kept it cool. I took my phone back and went to the other store in a different area of the mall and they informed me that while I do need to service it, there would be no charge for a loaner because my phone is still under manufacturers warranty and I have extended coverage on it anyway.

I wanted to slap up dude downstairs for giving me wrong info but whatever …

Unfortunately, the manufacturers warranty doesn’t cover liquid damage but luckily MY extended coverage did so I was able to send it in and get a loaner phone for the next 2-3 weeks at no cost but y’all … I lost everything on my phone. Because the charge port was fucked there was no way for me to connect my phone to my computer to save all my pics and documents and shit. I was upset for about 10 mins and then realized it could’ve been worse. I could’ve not had the foresight when I originally bought this phone to get the extended coverage and I could’ve been looking at a HEFTY cost for repair or the purchase of another phone - which is just over $600. MOST of my pics are on here, Instagram or FB anyway so I was able to console myself with that. I AM pissed all my print screens are gone, tho. Now I have no leverage but maybe me losing those screen shots is a blessing in disguise. Everything happens for a reason, right? *mumbles curses under my breath*. I still have emails if need be.

I also had to buy a new USB cable because as I said the shit was fried. Bell Canada  was gonna tell me they only had Blackberry USB’s (fine) and they were $30. I said, nah nah. Online y’all are selling them shits $10 cheaper. Let me just go to one of those phone booths in the middle of the mall and get my shit for a better price - RUDE! I went to one and homie was tryna sell me it for $25. Luckily, I had on a low cut tank today and my boobies were sitting up oh so pretty and I talked him down to $15. MUAHA! Titties make the world go ‘round!

Anyway, this loaner phone they gave me aint shit LMAO. Its puny. It’s still an Android. It’s still a Samsung but it’s smaller than my old Blackberry! WTF!? I even need a microSD card to DL apps and shit rofl. Luckily I had one. I MISS my gigantic screen on my Nexus. I’m not impressed. These next couple of weeks are gonna go by so slow. 

It is what it is. It was a terrible morning but nonetheless it all worked out in the end. As I said earlier, it could’ve been worse. I have to just keep reminding myself of that. Lesson learned. I’ll be backing up my phones docs, apps and pics every gotdamn day (or 2-3 days lmao) from now on. Ugh.

Thanks for letting me vent. I had to. LOL.
