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.
