All Of My Electronic Devices Are Conspiring Against Me

About 3 months ago my iphone mysteriously stopped syncing with my Exchange server at work.  I took it to the Genius Bar and their explanation was some blah, blah, blah about SSL and version 3 software and whatnot and upgrading to the iphone 3Gs would solve it.  So yesterday, the first day I could, I upgraded.  And guess what?  It still didn't work.  I configured ALL OF MY COWORKERS iphones and I couldn't get my own g-ddamn ONE TO WORK.  PERFECT.

So Doug and I spent like 12 hundred hours last night and discovered (and to be fair Doug totally discovered this while I swore a lot and tweeted and contemplated a mobile me account) that my work account was to blame.  I somehow didn't have a mobile account at work.  They must have turned it off.  So all my IT needed to do was flip a switch, or something like that.

I had little faith that this would actually occur, or solve the problem, but hey, it did.  And now I have a brand new iphone 3Gs I did not need to spend $200 on.  But it is 16 gig as opposed to the meezly 8 gig I had before, so sell me on your favorite apps.  But please be free ones.  Because I also bought a new camera.  And my husband may kill me if I spend anymore money.  Because we are supposed to be cutting back.  Because we did just buy a house, and may be sending our child to private school.

Right, the camera.  I somehow smashed my camera at Zoolights.  A perfectly lovely camera my inlaws had bought me for my birthday 6 months ago, ruined, and I have no idea how.  But the LCD is all gobbley gook and you can tell the camera was somehow banged.  So I bought some under $100 piece of crap (no, I'm sure it is fine) on amazon.  Because I cannot tell my inlaws I broke the $400 fancy wifi (that never worked with my Mac anyway) camera.  And really, I barely remember to take pictures.  So my little Nikon will do fine.  Until I manage to break that also.

And now Doug is sick.  I have no idea what I did to him.  But I'm thinking all people and things should stay away from me.

Oh I hate when it feels like one thing after another. At least you have everything that you need now, and all the replacements are in functioning order. :)

Ooh! I feel your pain. When my iPhone stopped working it was horrible. I felt rudderless!

I love Camera Genius. It lets you take photos on your iPhone with a ZOOM! It does some other nifty stuff too.

My other cannot-live-without-app is Kindle for iPhone.
