Thanks For Tuning In To Another Episode of I Make No Sense!

I shall be updating this post throughout the day to show my progress at tackling my To Do list:

[/] Go to the Post Office to mail the iPod Touch, to Chris, and the form asserting that Ryan is my Domestic Partner, to be covered under my Starbucks insurance - The Post Office remains elusive, and will need to be searched for tomorrow. I will not give up without a fight!
[/] Go to the mall and get my hair dyed back to its natural color, possibly with accompanying trim - Called to make an appointment with Dennis, the hairdresser my co-worker swears by for the very thing I need. He doesn't work today or Monday (my next day off), is booked tomorrow until 5 (and I work at 6:30), I work Sunday during their open hours, and he's not in again until Wednesday. I shall try calling again on Monday!
[x] Find a Verizon store or kiosk and convince them to sell me another phone, despite my contract being based in Connecticut - I am now the happy owner of an LG enV 2. In Cobalt! Further Phone Adventures* can be read below the list.
[x] Call up the Curves that is supposed to be down the street from where I work and find out where they're hiding - They said that Google maps doesn't like them, and gave me directions to find them. Turns out they're still very close to my work, just in the opposite direction I tried in. May visit today if there's time (they close at 6), if not will visit on Monday. - I visited! Got some information, got their hours, plan doing the free week thing starting on Monday. :)
[x] Visit my Starbucks to pick up paycheck stub and markout - Forgot about that until just today, when I checked our balance online and found the direct deposit. Woo money!

*Further Phone Adventures: I realized today, at the Verizon kiosk, as The Most Apathetic Customer Service Representative On Earth was moving my contacts from Dead Phone to New Phone, that my pictures were still on Dead Phone, and I had no idea how to get them off, what with the screen being useless. I tried to get over it, but I kept thinking of what was on there: flowers from Mom's yard, friends at Willi Brew or Jess's last Halloween party, cats I haven't seen since May, the one good picture of my lost and beloved cat Bastet, etc etc. I got more and more sad as I thought about each picture that was seemingly lost.

I am happy to say, after hours of poking Dead Phone and scouring the internet and raking my brain, that I have succeeded! I completely forgot that the phone charger also acts as a USB connector, linking phone with computer. I had to download some random program, but I have my pictures!

And my new phone has been set to save all pictures and videos to the inserted memory card, thankyouverymuch.

I'm happy with the enV 2, for the same reasons that I was never happy with the Dare. The Dare is 99% touch screen, which sounds cool until it decides that you have to hit the exact square millimeter to the left of where you actually pressed, and it needs to be touched for an exact amount of time that is never the same twice in a row to activate, and there's a random time delay so you think you have to hit it again but end up hitting the next menu instead, AARRRGGGHH!

The enV 2 has buttons, actual freaking buttons, that do buttony things like click and be solid. The vertical keyboard comes when I flip the phone open, not when I flip it sideways, and is surprisingly intuitive and easy to learn. Oh, I'm going to miss the Favorite Contacts screen, but I get One-Button Dial back, which is just as good, if not better. And I'll miss having a little flip-out menu with all my favorite things all nice and handy, but it's worth it to have ACTUAL. BUTTONS.

All in all, I am happy with my day. I got almost all the things on my list done, and what I didn't get done I damn well tried to. I have a new phone, I took steps in the direction of Health & Exercise, and I even managed to get my desk and money records back in some kind of order.

The rest of the evening shall be spent eating, getting the rest of the room back in order (laundry...in drawers? not the basket? what now?), and possibly being dragged into a raid. We'll see on that last part.
