“If Drawist had hair, she’d be pulling it.” Thalia twisted one of her curls. “And it all started with a little stop at Horizon.”
“Verizon,” Urania corrected.
Calliope gazed at two phones sitting side by side on the counter — one tried and true, one fresh and new. “This is harder than we thought it would beeee. The phones were supposed to kiss and — wallah! — upgrade accomplished. Why isn’t is workinnnngggg?” she whined.
Nią scowled. “Stop it. We can do hard things. And if we can’t, we’ll go back to Horizon to ask for help.”
“Verizon.” Thalia broke into giggles and everyone felt just a little bit better.
Words from Typist:
I’m aware technology frustration has filled me with anxious feelings.
For goodness sake, such a trifling thing a cell phone is!
Why do I feel like I could karate chop a tree? 😡
Wait! I no longer want to go hand to trunk with a mighty oak after sharing my troubles with you.
I feel much better!
You’re the best!
Thank you.
P.S. The muses and I are taking tomorrow off. We’ll likely be at Horizon.
Gail knows the travails I’ve gone through (and still going) just buying a new iPhone for Beth! I imagine AT&T phones are trained not to kiss🤷🏽 Any more detail would make a bad experience worse. Or hilarious for folks not jousting with their own provider!
One cautionary note: the new iPhone 14 Pro does not even have a SIM card. They use an “eSIM” which is not a physical thing. With our present phones, 13 and 10, they offered the illusion of control by just opening a cool door on the edge, an old card would pop out and, bing, in with the new. Only an illusion of control. To be continued...
That had me crying and laughing! I loved it Horizon... technology can stink sometimes. My newer I Mac won’t come on and I have been using my old MacBook Pro laptop instead. But iPhone to iPhone should work. I have done that 2 or 3 times myself. But you know what? We pay a ton of money if each month for our phones. Let them do it for you. ♥️
