Ok so I’m trying something new here. Normally when inspired, I share my daily lessons via Facebook! Why put all the goodies on there, when I could easily share it with you all here. I hope that I can make these posts happen daily, but we shall see. Anyway, on to the story…
So last night as we were driving home from work, our tire decided to take a break from it’s duties and roll out….while we were in the middle of the highway….at 65 mph..in the rain……
We were all safe, no accident…all good. The bad thing is that our sole source of transportation is in the hospital, and life is still happening. Oh I forgot the best part of the story. My lovely Apple iPhone 7 decided to lose it’s signal due to a manufacturer issue…while waiting for the tow truck. I use my phone for everything so at some point I will have to figure out something.
So today I woke up focused on Uber and Lyft, but luckily my friend volunteered to get me to work.It was great opportunity to have girl talk and chat about lattes and babies. I was all good until I realized that I wouldn’t be able to do shit without my phone. No uber , no lyft, no calling a mechanic, no IG….nothing .
Ok..so now that I can breathe again, time to go into problem solving mode. I reached out to Apple and they said they could fix my phone for free.99…but I either had to mail it in , or make an appointment at the closest location. How Sway…..How?
So I decided to catch a cab to the closest Cricket store to get a temp phone until I can get my phone repaired. I literally googled a cab company, booked a cab, and hoped that the driver saw me standing there hopeless and cell phoneless.
My driver scooped me….I paid when I arrived at my destination …purchase a new phone…paid for my lunch…and downloaded Lyft….!
Best part of the story is that I did all of this on my work lunch break..
Moral of the story: Either you’re going to sit and think or pout your way into a solution…or you can take inspired action. It’s up to you 🙂
