Laurie and the Terrible, Horrible, No good, very bad day....

Ok - so the title is a little bit of an overstatement, but I still didn't have a great experience today (but it did end better!).
I have an extremely nice headset which is very comfortable (which we really need when we use it for up to 8+ hours a day) and I love it!
However, today as I got out of the plane in Bunia in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, my foot caught on the wire connecting it to the plane. I was in the caravan and so the drop to the ground from the cockpit is at least 4 feet.... can you see what's coming?
Yep, my headset crashed out of the door after me, and smashed down onto the floor.
So here's the after picture... :-( - I managed to break the piece that holds the ear cup to the headband, and rip out the cable from the battery compartment. Not only that, but I actually managed to rip out some of the pins from the cable too. Not bad for 10 seconds work....

So, what's the good news I hear you ask...?

Well, I called a very nice lady at Lightspeed (the manufacturer of the headset) and she is going to send me the address so I can Fed-Ex it to them to fix it. They normally have them fixed in about 5 days (she said) and then it can be couriered back to me. Praise the Lord!
So until then I have to go back to my not so comfortable, and certainly not so nice old headset....

Will keep you posted...!
