Technology Isn't Always My Friend.

I've struggled with anything technological constantly the last few weeks.

{My faithful blackberry for work died a slow and painful death.}

The poor thing just kept ringing but couldn't manage to allow me to answer the call.  You know how when someone gets into a car accident and the horn sometimes keeps continually beeping even after the horn isn't depressed anymore?

Yeah, it was kinda like that.

The pitiful little thing got his retirement.  The only acceptable replacement - a new phone with a duck quacking ringtone.

{I almost missed my movie night out.}

Groupon:  GREAT deal!
Fandango:  eh, kinda confusing...if you don't read the date before you hit submit.

I got an amazing deal on two movie tickets to see Matthew McConaughey movie (completely had to google his last name to know how to spell it).  I had to purchase the tickets online to get the deal, but I bought them for tonight instead of tomorrow.

Ok, ok, this one may not be due to technological difficulties all together, but Fandango should have an option to adjust the date for which you are purchasing the tickets in a very obvious place.  If I can't find it, it's not obvious enough.

Thank goodness for helpful Jeff and Patrick at the theater, ready and willing to help repair my technological and 2nd grade reading blunders.

{Relay for Life website tried to deny me of my team!}

Per the last post, I had some major malfunctions with this website.  Then I had yet more issues with the customer support hotline.  Oh yeah, then I had some more problems with the local Relay office in Dallas.

I just wanna collect some money for one big birthday party!

But, you know what they say:  The 14th time is the charm.  And that it was in this case as well.  Finally, after speaking with an uber-helpful assistant to the actual person I was told I had to talk to this whole time, all issues are solved, and we are now one big ol' money-raising, relay-walking, cancer-fighting machine!

[Enter shameless plug for Relay for Life support/donations here.] 

And if you don't know what one of those shameless, Relay for Life support pleas looks like here's one now:  Please, please,  pretty pretty please donate to this amazing cause to save so many lives!  As my niece so eloquently stated, you never know...it could be YOU that they are trying to find a cure for in the future (although we really hope that isn't the case!).

So, now that you know what the plea looks like, go donate people!!
