Reset

Yea!

The iPhone is not broken! Now that I know the "reset" secret that requires that I push down two buttons indefinitely, it is fixed. Kudos to the AT&T store little guy that was patient and kind making me NOT feel like an idiot for not consulting my manual for advice.

$0 spent on fixing it. All cleaning will now take place with the cover on the phone!

Don't we all wish we could just hit two little buttons to reset our lives?

Ode to the iPhone

One foot below

the laptop stood sturdy

My hand

not so much

my phone a little dirty

In hopes of a cleaning

the iPhone was bare

As I took off the case

to swipe it with care

Fingers come open

phone falls below

Right on the corner

Of laptop below

Little knick in it's back

Thought all was ok

Touch screen was frozen

phone called it a day

Yes, I'll go to the store

to see what can be done

But, I've been through this before

And it is not fun

More money, more signing

More agreements and cords

All of these gadgets

are making me poor

Ode to my iPhone

gadgets and apps

Will I settle for a cheap phone

Or have a relapse?

....

OK, I'm done trying to make it all cute. Off I go to see if I can actually get this all fixed up for a reasonable price.

Something is wrong with me. First the Blackberry and now the iPhone all in a six month period. The cheap stuff is looking really good right now.

Ode to the Blackberry

Oh, ode to the Blackberry,
all black and worn,
you were my friend,
though my thumbs are all torn

You woke me up daily,
at 5:00 a.m. sharp,
for almost three years,
your screen glowed in the dark

Your keyboard, magnificent,
it came with real keys,
nifty little ear piece,
so to drive with great ease

From carpool, to office,
to home and on travel,
used mostly for email,
very little babble

Alas, and a lack,
you were there by my side,
to your last day,
when you crashed by my ride

With your screen all a shatter,
and scratches and bangs,
it's unfortunate, yes,
but, it's time for a change

Oh, ode to my Blackberry,
I've left you alone,
Now I've had to move on,
to my...dare I say it, iPHONE!
