I have spent the day in cell phone hell. First of all I can’t make any calls on the damn thing. Just stopped working for no reason at all. But I got a new cell phone for Christmas and took it to the Apple store to get it activated and transfer the data from the old phone to the new one. O figured maybe the new phone would let me make calls again.
I will admit I’m not quite up to Luddite level when it comes to cell phones, but the guy who helped at the store was even more incompetent. He couldn’t transfer the data to the new phone. The phone kept saying Data Transfer Failed because there wasn’t enough storage space. Then he tried to get me to buy additional storage space at .99 cents a month. Fuggetaboudit.
Took the phone home and thought about he message concerning storage space and I remembered I had gotten messages before about having too many pictures stored. so I deleted some videos and tried it again and voila– data transferred successfully. Simple as that. But I still can’t make any calls.
Now I guess I’ll have to go to Verizon and find out why I can’t make any calls. That’ll be another adventure. Also the electric company came and turned off the power on our street because they are starting to put the cables underground. Screwed up my desk top. Had to update that as well.
Of course there’s an astrological reason for all this mayhem. Mercury is in retrograde motion. Should never deal with electronics or anything having to do with communication when Merc is going backward. Best wait until Mercury goes direct January 18. Maybe I’ll wait until then to go to Verizon. I never call anybody anyway.
