i am attending a concert soon, first time in years, and things have changed since then. tickets are often now on smartphone apps. it was getting annoying when i added the ticketmaster app to my phone but i was unable to get to the login screen. it would either get stuck or i would get kicked out. i went to a cricket wireless shop near my workplace and the employee wasn't that helpful, trying the same things i had already tried. restart the phone, uninstall and reinstall the app. one thing i tried while in the shop seemed to work, though. it took me a little while to think of one thing that i hadn't tried yet. i have no problem logging into hotmail on my phone. there was an email from ticketmaster and i logged into the site through it and saw my ticket. with the ballpark app for major league baseball, i see two baseballs moving on the ticket. with this one i still see some action on it. i really didn't want to switch phones just to get into a concert. i should be fine for quite a while as my needs are not that great on a phone. it is mostly make and take calls, send text messages. the attendant spoke of having to file for bankruptcy due to medical bills, a kidney transplant. i picked up a sandwich from a speedway gas station and a bottle of juice and headed back to work, i essentially spent my lunch break at the phone shop. but i like having the peace of mind about getting past any technology issues for this show. i was far enough ahead on work that i could afford to, especially when the overnight volume was low and i had already done all of the labels up to that point. a box for returning a laptop was put out with the mail tubs at the end of the day, a colleague asked me to forward it to their office downtown. in the evening i went to hy-vee and eight items were bought. saw some pies there, but not pumpkin. i went to cub foods and three items were bought. found a pumpkin pie there and a charlie brown thanksgiving card, from american greetings. surprised me a little as i am used to charlie brown cards mostly being found at hallmark shops. later on i went on a walk and found 11 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when the dudes went to visit a reclusive scientist in the woods, while the ladies did a bachelorette party for amy but amy passed out at the bar pretty early. it was followed by the one where howard did a song for bernadette while she has in quarantine.
