Amy had to attend a career fair in Fresno so I rode with her and she dropped me off at my mom & dads in Hanford for a visit. The weather was great and I spent the week visiting, reorganizing our storage room, picking walnuts and shelling walnuts and almonds. That is about all they are harvesting this time of year although my dad is still picking vegetables from his garden. The tomatoes still taste way better than what I can buy.
Saturday, Stephanie goes to the Apple store to get the newest Iphone using my upgrade. We have done this before and it is no big deal, however this time the Apple store said it was fine that I wasn’t there but as soon as they did it, Stephanie had my phone, not hers! How do they do that? They just hijack my account, put my info on a new phone and send her on her way. They told her to change it back she had to go to the AT&T store. In the mean time, my phone quits. Stephanie goes to the AT&T store and gets her info on to the new phone, but they have to have my phone to get me back in service! Oh well, I will be back in San Jose on Sunday and can return myself to the AT&T store and get my phone back even though I have my phone with me! Sunday went perfect at the AT&T store. We had a very nice sales girl, named Denise! She fixed my phone, made sure our accounts were intack with no additional charges, Stephanie’s phone works great (the assistant really works!) and everything looks great.
I spent some time with Stephanie before deciding I was heading home Sunday night rather than sticking around for a dentist appointment on Monday. I caught a cold while visiting my mom, felt crummy and didn’t think it a good idea to spread my germs at the dentist.
When I get home Sunday night Paul upgrades my phone to the new software that everyone is raving about. He had done his earlier in the day, Amy had done her’s on Friday so it is my turn! Yippy!!! It took 3 tries before it would upgrade and restore or whatever it does before I could use my phone again. Worked great all day Monday but this am, it won’t work and needs to be restored again. We try 3 times and nothing. So, I spend some time on the phone with the AT&T tech who tells me I can stick a paperclip in the little hole, removing the sim card! Those guys at the Apple store act like that is some secret tool they use. Anyway, I remove the sim card, still no phone. She tells me I have to restore again! OK. Right now my phone is in step 5 of 5. I hope it works this time! In the mean time, Paul also did the upgrade to the Ipad which took a couple tries and then this morning he can’t get it to work! This time it is operator error. He put a password protect in and apparently he put the wrong one in, TWICE!!!
No technology is without it’s problems. I say, don’t fix it if it ain’t broke! But I am guilty of wanting the newest fun stuff too. Can’t wait to play with the CLOUD!!!
