More Apartment Woes
Posted by Erin | Filed under General
The apartment above us is empty and the maintenance crew is apparently working up there to fix it up for new tenants. While I was making the stew, I heard a WHAM when they dropped something heavy on the floor. A little while later, I’m sitting at my desk writing up my previous post about making the beef barley stew, and there’s another WHAM.
This time, it jars the floor so hard that the light fixture, that is above and slightly to the right of me, breaks loose. One of the rods that holds the glass bowl of the fixture broke free and it was left swinging by the remaining 2 rods.
Needless to say, this pissed me off. The glass bowl, while not completely broken, is in no shape to go back up there, even if the rods that hold it in place are able to be screwed back into the fixture. The holes where the rods go through the bowl are chipping away. While taking it down before it fell down on me, I got showered with little shards of glass.
Pictures to follow (once my camera battery charges).
Blackberry

So, my Blackberry, the phone-that-does-everything that I wanted for so long, is now pissing me off. I’ve had it for a little over a year and I’m finding it less useful and more annoying every day.
- Despite setting the option to save new photos to the media card, the camera still saves them to “Device Memory”
- If a picture fails to upload (no matter the application) I cannot get it to upload using any other application, even after rebooting (forcing me to download the picture via the USB connection if I want to post it somewhere)
- Can’t find any decent (and free) personal time management apps
- Can’t find any decent (and free) budgeting apps
- I get shit for cell phone signal at my apartment, which drains the battery abnormally fast, not to mention I can’t even make phone calls, and 3G? HA! forget it
- I pay $100/month just for my phone. Which I can’t use half the time (see above)
- WordPress app is now apparently only available via “Blackberry App World” so I just had to download and install a completely new app to update one I already had
When my contract is up, I think I’m just going to go back to a basic, non-smart, cheap-as-I-can-get phone.
