Technical limbos and blank spots

Today? Don't talk to me about today.
My screen froze to a blank black while I talked on phone and when it was time for bye bye's I couldn't even hang up.
The other person on the other side of the line of course thought I'd hung up and didn't bother with the hanging up for the next hour or so, which was the time it took me to send mails to people asking them to drop a line to the other person to please hang up.

Why was I mailing?
because my screen wasn't responding. It was pitch black and didn't turn off, didn't do anything and I could hear all the conversation happening on the other side.

So what do I do?
Well, for about half an hour I screamed out my frustration, after which I headed straight to the repair center where I'd earlier got my screen fixed and vented out all the pent up anger.

Well then?
The screen was replaced with a brand new one for absolutely free. Of course it had to be free, it was their fault wasn't it?
Not just, I got a complementary screen guard too.
So that's a plus.
Also provided was a hot cup of steaming coffee, which I gladly accepted and sipped while watching 'day after tomorrow' that was playing on one of their Mac machines.

Now what?
Well I'm typing seamlessly. The screen does look better. There's no freezing nor interruptions and my keys are working fabtastic.

Am I glad or what?
But of course I am. Couple days back I'd reset my phone and for a moment these problems had disappeared and I thought resetting was all that as needed.
I'm happy that the phone did a number on me or I'd have stayed in reset dark. Imagine if it'd gone blank while (wink wink) or during my transit and travels.

So now?
I'm hungry and sitting in a Chinese restaurant called 'Kung fu' and eating something they said was fish.
I'm going back home and hitting my exercise mat for an hour long Pilate workout, because I can and because I'm happy that this annoying phone problem is resolved.

Soon..
