The battery of my phone has just gotten worse. I leave home with a fully-charged phone and the battery dies before I even get back home from work. The more annoying thing about it is that the battery is not user-replaceable so I can’t buy a spare battery for it.
My employer couldn’t even give me the right information regarding my prescription plan. Not to mention, it’s one of the crappiest prescription plans out there. I just learned that I have a $50 annual deductible. Co-pays are ridiculously high, too.
I can’t seem to find my card reader. That is why I still haven’t been able to post my trip log from our Cozumel vacation. I refuse to buy a new one, so I will continue on my search…
