Well, no one is happy when their phone malfunctions, I know, but I guess I just like to think it traumatizes me more than the average unorganized person! Anyway, my "off" button hadn't been working well, but Monday (at the Iowa State Fair) it just wouldn't shut off at all. I turned the settings way down to automatically sleep after a minute, but then I had to be super careful not to touch anything for a minute while it did. So I spent a long day at the fair like that, then as we were totally drained and leaving, I decided to stop at Jordan Creek on the way home and see if they could help. Well, of course they could. They gave me a new phone. YAY!! ... and grrrrrr. Well, because we're on a business account, they couldn't fully activate it there at the Apple Store, but there was a Verizon store in the same mall. Hmmm... 8:57, really? So I sent Morgan running on ahead to tell them this really was an emergency and to please wait for me. Problem: Mallory and I noticed a GameStop between us and Verizon. 8:59... Please, no! But yes, he stood there, frozen in a trance, staring at the GameStop as the Verizon doors were being pulled closed! Well, he snapped out of his trance (may have been due to the shriek of his mother) and got over there, but the guy was telling him that everything was shut down and there really wasn't anything that could be done. As I got there, he really was waiting for me, but looked pretty helpless! He took my new phone and dialed a few numbers, the same one the Apple Techs did, but somehow it worked for him! And I was on my way! I turned around to gather my kids, and Morgan was actually on his way back to me, dragging himself along. Apparently, he thought GameStop would stay open for him just like Verizon did for me!
I'm really thinking this PhotoStream is amazing. My last phone backup was 11:30 the night before, so I would have lost all the photos I took at the fair, but there they were... safely tucked away in the Cloud!
