A Doorknob....As in Dead As.....

Well my iphone committed suicide on Saturday. I was using a gas station restroom and has so carefully placed my phone on the toilet paper holder whilest I tinkled. (yes I said tinkle) Everything was smooth sailing, until I received a text message. Being that my phone was still on vibrate from earlier in the day, it vibrated incestently. It was the violent vibrations that caused my phone to take a flying leap off the toilet paper holder and onto that ever so lovely public restroom tiled floor. I didn't really think much of it at the time, except that now my phone was covered in public restroom floor germs and that I really really needed to get to my car and get some germex on it. I quickly ran out of the gas station, jumped in my car, pulled out my wonderous germex, and quickly spread as much as I could on my hands, washed them and then my phone. (ps I know you aren't supposed to get iphones wet, this would be the reason I did all this with a cover on it and I only put the germex on the back....the place that touched the floor) I just assumed that everything was fine....until I went to respond to the text that had caused my phone to take the flying adventure and realized that the "n" key didn't work. Neither did the "u" key. I thought..."Ok well I will just turn it off and back on and see if that makes it work." So I did just that. Nothing.....My phone was actually ok....for the most part, until later that evening. While I was babysitting I realized that part of my screen was frozen. Then, once I got home, I couldn't type anything into a text. So I hooked it up to my computer to restore the factory settings ( I thought that maybe that would help..........it didn't). Finally, I broke down and put in a request for Apple to call me the next day. They did. After an hour long converstation, we concluded that my phone did in fact commit suicide and would need to go in for repairs or they would just need to send me a new one. I was ok with that. My boss' wife has an array of cellular devices from which I could choose to use during the time my phone would be in for repairs and I could just get it from her the next day. Well.....at least thats what I thought. After the Apple call, my phone decided that it just didn't want to be used at all anymore and the 'no touching zone' had moved to possess the entire screen, thus not allowing me to unlock it. By this point, I was in a slight panic. This phone is my life....as sad as that may sound. We don't have a house phone at our house, and I don't possess a real alarm clock. This phone played those parts. What the heck was I supposed to do. I know! I will email Kerri (boss' wife) and see if I can just go pick up a phone from her today. Ahah! Good thinking. So I open my trusty laptop and pose myself to write her the most pitiful distress email ever, when I discover my laptop has run out of juice. No problem, I will just plug it in...duh. Well I go a searching for my at home charger (I believe you should have more than charger, one for home and one for work) and its nowhere to be found. It then hits me that I took my whole computer bag to work, including my at home charger, and only brought home my computer. Dang! My charger is still at the office. So I jump in my car and head across town to grab my charger. I finally get home and shoot Kerri an email and so patiently wait for her to email me back. :) yes patiently........In the meantime, I get to listen to my phone almost die from exhaustion with people texting me and emailing me. BTW This never happens....people incestently texting me......I'm just not that popular, until, of course, my phone commits suicide. So finally Kerri emails that she is in town and is bringing me a phone. YES! My hero!!! I jam my SIM card into the blackberry and charge it up and its a go! I'm connected to the real world again! Thank goodness for Kerri and her eclectic electronics collection! I have a connected phone again and my iphone should be alive and working in a week or so....at least I hope. Dang technology! Both a blessing and a curse :)
