So yesterday after work I was driving home. I got a text from my girlfriend and pulled over to reply. WINK, WINK. So I kept my phone on my laptop help destroy any chance of reproduction. Ok I know nobody really knows that it is a joke. I pull into my drive way, get out of my car with phone in hand. Walk around the car to the passenger side to pull out my laptop bag and few other things I bring with me and never really use. I put my bag on my should then got to put my phone in my pocket. Then it happened, I missed a pocket that is perfectly located on my side where my hand go to. The iPhone does nice slow motion drop on the corner. In my mind I do the internet UGH!. Then I think do I have insurance, not know insurance doesn’t actually cover anything. Didn’t matter. I look at the phone and it still usable, but do I have time to back it up and reset. Estimated time is 4hrs, Apple Store closes at 930pm. I look at my watch, 430pm. That put me close to getting there. So I get inside, change. I have to change first to get into relax mode. Plug my laptop in, take care of spike. Spike will hound me till he is fed. Plug in my phone, switch my itunes to backup mode. And sit there and stare at the screen as the sync/backup begins. And hour and ten minutes into the back up. Tom calls. I forgot the basic rule of backing you the iPhone. Put the freaking thing in flight mode. So I didn’t answer the call thinking it would not stop the sync. Wrong dump ass. I watched in horror as the backup started again. So I stop the backup and switch flight mode…….Backup finally finished. I look at the time, nope won’t make. But I am still going to reset this f’ing thing. When the back was finally done. Time on the clock was 921pm. I was never making to the Apple store. Will have to wait till lunch tomorrow.
So I went to the Apple store at lunch time thinking not too many people would be there. I was right. But I didn’t know I had to make an appointment. the nice girl saw burning look in my face that I wasn’t going to take this well and got me an appointment for ten from when I got there. Thank you, by the way. It is my life line to friends and work. As I was waiting I talking to a guy I know who helps me all the time when I go there. he picked a new kickass case I don’t have to worry about keeping my phone in, a contour. I am not joyfully waiting my two hours for the phone to restore. Actually I am 2 hours and 10 minutes into it. Still at work waiting to leave when this is done.
