GuentzelPod Rest In Peace - The Five Stages of Grief

April 10th, 2008 by Mike · No Comments

I dropped my ipod and rendered it useless today. I wouldn’t be that upset except I listened to it just about every day. I affectionately called it GuentzelPod when I was asked to name it in iTunes.

I found myself going through the five stages of grief:

  • Denial - I did not just drop my ipod on the hard floor. There is no way that my ipod is on the floor after falling approximately 4 feet.
  • Anger - Why did I drop my ipod? Why was I so stupid to carry it in my right hand and allow the headphone cord to catch on the doorknob? I am furious!
  • Bargaining - Please come back to life, ipod. I swear if you come back to life, I’ll never carry you so carelessly again…please, please boot up again.
  • Depression - I will never listen to music or amusing and informative podcasts again. Audio is dead to me.
  • Acceptance - I don’t know what this feels like yet.

I am not amused. Would anyone like to buy a $300 paperweight?
