Am I treating enough people right, or have I lost my soul in the Rhaposdy inside the internet?
Rhapsody doesn't equal Rapture so you are cool.
Rhapsody has many shades; I prefer Blue
internet Rhapsody is Cacophonous.

I'm sorry.Californiathe people, the traffic, the entire state!!! I have to make a delivery and then pick up a load even thinking of going to California has put me in a seriously foul mood
That's definitely not the effect we want you to experience. We're laid back, upbeat--even in the midst of this awful pandemic--and millions and millions of tourists from all over the world come here every year to experience our lifestyle, even just for a little while.
Now, with COVID-19, our beautiful beaches, mountains, canyons and deserts are empty. City streets look like ghost towns. The 405 [AKA the world's busiest freeway] is now wide open.
What part of the state are you going to?

so I checked my messages and found out I had a load picking up tonight at 11pm. Here's the problem I am running on fumes as far hours as I can work.So the goal was to drop the current load get to the nearest shop get the truck look at two issues electrical and the truck has been dragging , so I'm thinking if I can drop in time I can get the truck into the shop get the issues look at hopefully fixed before the maintenance crew goes home for the weekend
Speak to a driver manager and I am told that I will have to wait till Monday the shop is closed on the weekend
I'm like well today is Friday so anyway they can squeeze me in
The DM tells me it's Saturday
Tells me sit over the weekend and get them to look at it Monday
So now I am like what happened to Friday

So this morning around 5am I woke up with a splitting headache, felt like I was going to be sick 
took a Tylenol and went back to sleep. Woke up around 9am or 10am was going to try to get my truck into the shop , but my stomach started to toss and turn and off to the bathroom I went.
45 minutes I get back to the truck. I have a short conversation with the company plan is to get the truck into the shop around 1 pm
It's 11:00-11:30am
I lay down close my eyes and when I opened them I feel round two of a headache coming on, I take another Tylenol get my bearings and noticed that it's starting to get dark I grabbed my phone and it's 7:30pm

YEah way too many glitches while playing video games too.Time for a new phone???
I am thinking when this virus is cure, I will find a great phone too. I do have a "free" upgrade though, still it will be alright forking a little bit money at a time for a small ammount of time, besides it is time to let this one go, way too many people talking on it and over it anyways.

Phone shopping has become boring I remember the late 90's early 2000's you could walk into a T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, at&t store and select from Nokia, Samsung, Motorola ,LG, HTC, Nexus (at certain carriers) later on there was the iPhone
These days it's all about Samsung and Apple
For a while LG was hanging on now I don't see them much, accept for a few prepaid devices
Keeping my fingers crossed HTC makes a come back with an awesome phone

No kidding LG I had a chocolate touch one.
Too bad I was too messed up and touched it subconsciously with my pencil
They should just update the m7 - I'd buy it without blinking.
Or the 10: slightly bigger than I like, but solid as a tank and the speakers blow the socks off any phone I've ever owned (including my m7, and they make my Pixel sound like a piece of cheap crap). My wife still uses hers, and I'd buy an updated one of those without hesitation.

A few years back I was going through a box of paper work and found a HTC my touch, the screen was cracked and the the charging port was damage. I was going to have it repaired but then I realized that the phone had been discontinued for at least ten years so finding a replacement screen might be an issue. Then there was the cost to consider the repairs would have cost more than the phone I ended up recycling itNo kidding LG I had a chocolate touch one.

Out of all the brands HTC is my favorite. My second favorite phone of all time was my TMobile HTC G2 ( that was the last HTC I own)
Do you have a history of migraines, Joe? Your description makes me wonder if maybe that's what you're dealing with. If you continue having these issues, a trip to your doctor is in order. Of course, it may be a random bug, but as I said, if you continue experiencing this you should see a doctor. Whether you're now having migraines or it's something else, you're better off knowing--and getting appropriate medication.
