Currawong Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 That's crap Vicki. After having lived in Sydney for 5 years I'm fanatically paranoid about where all my valuable possessions are when I'm out and about, even though I live in a country where you can leave your car running while you go shopping and it, and it's contents will still be there after you get back. I've heard so many similar stories about iphones going missing that mine is either in my hand, a zipped pocked or pouch and never gets put down, anywhere public. My work finally redeemed itself where before they had hired a full-time teacher to take over all the classes of the one that quit, instead of giving the classes to us other teachers, which we were in desperate need of. The new teacher couldn't handle all the driving (honestly! I swear Japan attracts serious slackers) so now not only have I got all the classes I need, I was offered more, including two highly sought-after school positions. Other than that, the little one spent half the day at her grandparents house, where her grandmother played with her non-stop, so I arrived to find a 20-month old (as of tomorrow) so high from excitement that she screamed hello at me. She crashed so hardcore in the car on the way home I could lift her out without her waking up (otherwise impossible). She climbed up the stairs to the fifth floor by herself yesterday too, which is pretty good going considering she usually bails out after one flight.

guzziguy Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Sorry about your bad day, Vicki. The upside is that today will almost certainly be better. I'm about to head out for a 3-6 day motorcycle trip. So I won't be here for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Spent a good bit of time yesterday setting up some webpages that pull in results from online forms, so that I dont have to provide periodically updated access tables to people on their whim, and since the data was being put back into page form for 'the important people' to see. After sending the page format results out today, it is immediately followed by a 'oh noes, can we still have an access table format instead", despite my very clear email explaining precisely that yesterday. All this from the same people who wanted more updates, bells and whistles. I guess I need to light an accelerant to the hoop before jumping through it next time.

Superpredator Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Wow, that is a bad day. I usually like to spread that kind of terrible over a quarter or more. The rest of my day is looking good for doing some gardening, communing with squirrels, shouting at onions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Spent the early part of the day during some yard work - planting, putting in mulch, etc. Found some strawberry plants at a local nursery so bought some and planted them.

boomana Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Sorry about your bad day, Vicki. The upside is that today will almost certainly be better. Which it was. Thanks, Ken. I gave Walgreens my phone number on the long shot that my phone might turn up, and I got a call about 4:30 this afternoon. Apparently a kid (I have no idea how old) showed up at home with my phone and told his mother he found it at Walgreens, so she dragged him there to bring it back. I have no idea who she is, or I most certainly would have given her a reward. That doesn't happen much these days, and this Walgreens is not in a good neighborhood. Anyone want to buy a gently used 16g 3G iphone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on getting your iPhone back boomana. You could return your new one and go back to your old one, as an option (unless your new one isn't new).

mrarroyo Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Vicky glad you got your iPhone back! You are right, that mom deserves kudos. Besides work I took my 70 Beetle for a tune-up including valve adjustment. All is good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
