I think I have mentioned before somewhere (or many times)
on this blog that sometimes I wish I was Amish. Not because I like the outfits or anything or share any
of the beliefs necessarily but because they have no electricity and above all value simplicity.
I
really really need more simplicity in my life.And I have no clue how to get it
even after reading Mitten Strings for God. I am hopeless!
Each new gadget I get seems to cause me problems and in
turn stress…so what is the point really? I think I have also mentioned that the
day that I had to turn in my cherished Blackberry to our IT department was a
sad day even if I switched to the IPhone 5. Why? Because at least I actually
knew how to use it and it actually worked.
Since then it has been a series of errors and stress. Yes
yes it is good and I know how to use it almost perfectly now, but a series of
unfortunate events have led to me not having service for weeks and not being
able to take any pictures. Also hardly being able to type or book apts, and
many autocorrect humiliating situations asking the wrong people to do the wrong
things. Hate that autocorrect and if you shut it off too many errors. As my
sweet and dainty little fingers I guess are too big for Apple products.
I could not believe that IPhone 5 was being advertised and
promoted all over the Bell Center at the Justin Beiber concert and there I was
with such a low battery I could not record or call my husband to pick us up aftwards. What is so special about this product? Stick with the IPhone4!!!
So anyways finally I
get used to the phone and it’s features. Finally master it so I decide to buy a
new case. I mean hell will freeze over before I use the black one that was distributed
to us all the same. So I went for the brightest neon orange one I could find
(with sparkles and diamonds on it). Ya that one blocked my service almost
everywhere. So I returned it and the “nice “ man said he NEVER had that
complaint before? Really?-coincidence 4 people behind me all complained about
the same problem at their turn.
So I buy another case a bit less flashy and a bit less sparkly
that he assured me is perfect. Then I find out two weeks later that the diamonds apparently are ruining any pictures
at night. So ya sure it is great if you don’t mind not knowing if the people in
your pics are human or gorillas.
So went and returned that one. No luck. The same nice
Indian gentleman basically told me to go to hell and just stick with plain
black. It is apparently my fault for wanting to be unique and sparkly that
causes these issues. Assertive woman I am you can just imagine where this conversation
went. Let’s just say I did return the
case.
So now I have a new case that my husband chose and it is
perfect of courseJ It
has service (yay), it takes pictures (yay) and only infrequently sends words
like “sex” and “ass” by mistake to my innocent colleagues(double yahoo!)
I still miss my blackberry and it’s purple case that I also
gave back by mistake…but at least I can function and look a bit funky-two very
important aspects of life for me
And apparently if I want to Twitter every day of the week
that I baked a pie or cleaned my car or painted my nails it is really simple to
do on the IPhone 5! Who cares people! Don’t you work?????????????????????
(although haha I guess blogging is equally as time consuming
and a whole lot more) so the joke is one me right!)
