Technology Woes

As if things couldn't get more complicated, this morning I woke up with a sore throat.... Not only that ... then I puked.  So, I'm now 7 months pregnant and still puking in the mornings.... I had Lucky Charms at 4am, so I don't know why I woke up and puked... AND I had a 1/2 hamburger last night at like 9pm.  I don't know what else to do! I'm trying my best to keep my tummy full, but nothing is working.  I'm still getting sick!

Then, I head off to work.  I put a bottle of water in my bag and begin my walk.  I'm in Whole Foods picking up my chocolate croissant and feel something dripping on me... It's my bag... the cap on the water was crooked and all of the water leaked out and into my bag... I figure there's nothing I can do until I get to work, so I try to checkout at Whole Foods and my credit cards won't work because they're wet.  I end up giving the clerk a soggy $20 and trek on to the subway.  I get to work and pull out my iPhone to discover it wont let me make calls... it doesn't work... It's soaked.  Next I take out my beloved Macbook Pro... it won't work either.  AWESOME!  No phone, no computer.. It's gonna be a productive work day.  I start pulling everything out of my bag and laying it out to dry.  My computer charger is soaked, everything is just destroyed... I start freaking out.  What do I do without a phone and a computer?  One of our interns suggests I go and buy rice and sit my iPhone in it to absorb the moisture... I've heard that that works... I run out and buy rice... put my computer charger in one bowl of rice, my iPhone in the other... I wait... I wait... I wait... After fiddling... the computer and charger seem to be ok... Unfortunately, that doesn't hold true for my iPhone... the phone function doesn't work and it's completely dark.  I wanted to get a new iPhone anyway and switch from ATT to Verizon, but still... not like this... And since my contract isn't up, I'm going to get dinged for fees... Ayiyi...

And being without a phone, SUCKS!  I am so reliant on it... Luckily I was able to back it up on my computer one last time, so i didn't lose anything....
