I am NOT amused.
My cell phone has decided to die, shortly after the manufacturer's warranty terminated. The battery won't keep a charge for more than 2 days (where before, it could last a good week without needing to be recharged) but what's worse is that now, I don't even have any reception. As in, sweet fuck all. I can't dial to my voicemail and if I try calling my own mobile from the house phone, I go directly to my voicemail (which I can't actually get into now).
Orange are being right prats about the whole situation as well. My contract has just been renewed for another year (as of a month ago, of course) and at the time, I had the possibility to get a new handset but since they didn't have the one I wanted and I couldn't really be bothered to get another phone because I actually liked the one I have, I declined. Which means, by Sod's law, it breaks down as soon as all the coverage and warranties expire.
I am not amused.
So, if you're trying to reach me by phone at the moment, either call at work or on the house line.
One of my friends hypotheses that they have some sort of self-destruct mechanism in them. I was doubtful, but the evidence does seem to be adding up. First my phone, now yours…

There's a Dilbertism in there somewhere, I'm positive of it.

And the most annoying part of it is that I declined the phone upgrade because I didn't want to change phones just for the sake of changing phones. Well, I'm sorry, but fuck that shit in the future. I'm going to milk this for all it's worth in the future :(
