Back. Long day, though mostly good.
The phone deal didn't turn out well, though. *sigh* Verizon doesn't let you re-up your contract unless you're finishing one term, so I couldn't just tack on a few years as a means of getting a new phone.
And it wasn't under warranty, though...as it turned out, that wouldn't have covered things anyway. As I was going into the store, the truth was finally revealed - it didn't just get dropped; it got dropped into water. Explains a lot - it's NOT a delicate phone...I've dropped it down a flight of stairs before without a problem, among other drops. It's one of the reasons I chose that model in the first place.
Bottom line was that I ended up having to pay full retail price. Hundred and fifty bucks. That's their absolute cheapest model, so it wasn't as if I got to trade up or anything for that neither.
*sigh*
That's a lot. But I couldn't bring myself to have him pay. It was an accident. Granted, it shouldn't have happened, but I guess that's life. So much for spending money on a new wardrobe for awhile, though.
You know, it may have been an accident but he still broke it. I think at least he should pay part of that. Sometimes you're too nice, maybe. With all those little brothers you ought to have more cutthroat instincts... eh, it just means you're a better person than I am.
What a pain.
