What Goes Down Doesn’t Necessarily Go Back Up!

I have to send in my phone to be replaced. It should be covered under the warranty, though, because I didn’t drop it or let water get into it. It just started malfunctioning out of nowhere. I can’t see who is calling me half the time and as a result I have been picking up everyone’s calls. Hopefully no one that I really don’t want to talk to calls me! And if they wanna charge me $50 for the replacement then I’ll just have to deal with it for a very long time. Edit 07/07/2008: It’s not covered under the warranty. Well, it would be if the warranty weren’t expired 
I’m stuck with this stupid broken phone that keeps getting worse by the hour!
As far as other things go, a few of the comments on my last post said don’t feel too bad about my situation because things can only get better when they are bad. That’s not entirely true, though, and I’ve seen bad situations become worse all-too-many times in my life. I will keep pressing on, though, but no one really knows the extent of my situation so to say that it will get better only makes me want to punch someone in their gut.
My offline friends do the same thing. “Oh, don’t worry, things will work out.” Yeah, that’s because they’re not used to having real problems and the hardest thing they have to deal with is man problems. Not that man problems is nothing to worry about (because I sure as heck do get stressed out when I have them), but most of them are self-inflicted in their case. One has a man who treats her like shit but loves him to death. Another is a freakin’ whore. The list goes on and on. My situation, which I won’t talk about because it’s too personal, isn’t my fault and if it were something that I could fix by removing people from my life I would do it.
I’d like to end this note by saying that I’m not a pessimist. I do believe there will be a brighter day because I am focused and I don’t let my problems overwhelm me. And I’m not depressed either, because I personally know people whose lives are more screwed up than my own is. I am pissy, though…pissy when it comes to people who think that saying “things will get better” makes a difference–they have no clue what’s going to happen. In my opinion, it’s just not right…

good thing you have a warranty , lucklily my phone hasn’t had any serious problems because I sure as heck don’t have one .
I agree with your last note as well some people just will never know what others go through to determine who has it worse off .

sometimes things wont work out, and they may get worse, but eventually they will start getting better.

My phone’s broken too.. but too bad for me, because I don’t have a warranty and anyway I was the one responsible for it because I dropped it. ^^
Anyway, I see you have a new layout.. I guess it’s summer there now in your place so your layout suits the season^^.. Here in our place the summer months are March, April and May.. About the blinking effect you asked me, I just put text-effect: blink under a:hover in the CSS codes..^_^

That sucks that your phone is broken. At least it’s covered in your warranty.

In a way I know how you feel about people always saying it will get better. I don’t want you to feel like punching me in my gut, but I think that when you are under a huge amount of stress because of problems in your life, it’s normal to think that way. Whenever something goes wrong in my life, I always feel as though I have the worst luck, but in the end, things do get better, or look up slightly. Look at it this way: it’s a test. You will never be given something that you can’t handle, no matter how hard or stressful it may be at the time. I do hope things get better for you.
I don’t have a phone, so I wouldn’t know about the problems you’re having. Sucks that the warranty expired though. I pretty much fucked up my warranty on my iPod Touch because I jail broke it. lol

Sometimes I think you just need people to say, yeah you know, your fucked. lol you know? lol It’s good that you are trying to stay positive. I hate warranties. They always conveniently find a way to be expired, lol.

I had a situation like that and needless to say, it went into collections and I’m having a hard time getting the situation taken care of. The best advice I could give is to see if there’s ANYTHING at all that you can do before it’s wayyy too late. I waited too late and I’m paying the price.

Well, I guess I can only say that *I hope* things work out and get better for you eventually…

i hate my phone too, it’s totally messing up. it’s ridiculous, so i can’t wait until the iphone comes out this week.
i also understand how problems can be difficult i too have friends that tell me things are going to be fine, when in reality it’s easier for them to say than it is for them to feel. i hope you get things situated.. whatever the problem is, i really do hope you figure it out, take care

Aww. Sorry about your phone. I hope everything is ok with it. Sorry about your problems, but I like what you said in your last paragraph. It’s soo true!
Comment by Olivia Kitty on July 8th, 2008 @ 8:34 pm
I agree. People are often telling me to just “relax”, it will work out somehow. That has never happened to me, and I’m not going to sitting around hoping it does. You need to make things better for yourself. Not assume good will follow the bad.
Sorry about your phone! Hopefully you can get a new one soon

Your phone situation sounds similar to what happened to my sister. She had a warranty but they didn’t want to replace her phone. They kept saying you must’ve dropped it because the screen went out. She ended up switching companies.
I believe in the line, “Things will get better.” Yes, if you take it one step at a time and do whatever you need to do to fix this problem. On the other hand, “Things will work out,” means something totally different. Things don’t always work out and go as you had it planned in your head. For a problem, there is 100 down falls and 1 solution. Well, that’s the way I look at it.
