The Five Stages of Grief

It’s NOT broken

AGHH!  It IS broken, damn it!

Please don’t be broken.  I’ll do anything.

Wow, I’m pretty bummed out that it’s broken.

Oh well, guess I’ll go buy a new one.

My beloved tablet committed tabicide off my shelf at work.  Probably hitting a few things on the way down.  It took my phone on it’s fall with it, but the phone is unharmed.

I didn’t get a extended warranty, since I never do.  And it would have been outside the 2 years anyway.

It was due for an upgrade.  I just didn’t really want to spend the money right this minute.  But that’s why we have credit. Right?

BrokeWhat did I learn?  Make sure it’s flat on the shelf and not resting on a book.  Maybe leave it in a cover case when it’s not at home surrounded by a couch or a bed.  Expensive lesson.

I have the opportunity now to look at other tablets.  But you know what?  I LOVE my Nexus.  Being Google’s own, it just got upgraded to 4.4.4  How many Android devices are at 4.4.4?

Why would I consider anything else?  I don’t want a kindle fire.  The galaxy tab is just fine.  but I know the Nexus.  I want a Nexus.  AND it’s 32GB which will be perfect for taking to England to store all my photos.

Just killing time waiting for 10am so I can go pick it up.   Bestbuy have it for the same price as Google (plus tax) with a free cover! and I can use Paypal at Bestbuy.

Oh!  🙁  My broken nexus just gave me an email notification.  It doesn’t know it’s dying.  That’s just really sad.  I should probably shut it down and put it out of its misery.
