Phone Problems... urgh!

Well, I really love my new phone, but I already had issues with it! Well sort of the phone...

I should have known from the beginning as my card was giving me issues from the start. It started when it wouldn't save some of my pics to the card & other small details like that. So I did some research & it was suggested that I format the card & start over. I did just that & it worked great for approx 1mth or just over...

Approx 3 weeks ago, the card stopped working! I was not impressed because I knew that it was a no-name card which means that I can't get a warranty service or anything like that. So I called Bell Canada to see what they had to offer. They basically told me that there's nothing that they can do and I had to see the Dealer who I had purchased the phone. I was a little surprised and asked why I would have to talk to them if it was a "free" item from Bell. They didn't provide anymore information other then that...

So, I txt'd my friend that worked at Sounds Fantastic and asked him to look into how I can get my card replaced.

So, after 3 weeks of fighting with Bell & AMP (Cell distributor in Atlantic Canada), he basically told me that he was going to cost out the card & give it to me for free. I was extreemly grateful, but the only downside is that it's a 2gb card instead of a 4gb card.

I'm sure that I'm never going to fill the card, but still...

Other then that, there's not a whole lot else going on. Going to be working the weekends for the next month unfortunetly... Especially since Allison is now working Monday to Friday....

Well, that's pretty much all I've got for now.

'til next time!

New Day, New Center

Well today is a weird day, Friday 13 and we are starting at a new 911 dispatch center. The great thing about this is that we have all new equipment and we are no longer sitting one on top of the other. It's really nice. On top of that, it has been really quiet. In the area that I was covering, I didn't get a 911 dispatch until almost 10pm.

Other then that, everything is going good. Olivia started at daycare. She loves it there. Daphnee is there & Olivia is making friends really quickly. She only goes 3 days a week - Wed to Friday. Which is perfect because when Allison has a long weekend, it will give her 3 full days with Olivia. I usually get more days depending on what rotation I will be on. I could have 2 days or I could even have upto 4 days with her. I love it!

We had a structure fire last night. A small incident at a brand new appt building that is nearing completion. The only thing that was missing is some paint & tenants are already occupied. The fire seems to have been limited to the outside of the building - mostly vinyl had melted with some wood burning. It was the first structure fire that I've been too in a while.

Other then that, not a whole lot else going on. We are going to be getting new windows for the house. Kinda excited! I'm hoping to have some money left over so that I can build our patio that we want. We purchased a bike trailer the other day for Olivia & we finally had a chance to get out yesterday - before I came to work - and Olivia seemed to like it... but I think she got bored pretty quick. Her helmet is too big for her, but it seems to be the smallest out there!

Well that's about it for now.

'til next time!
