OK so today we each “updated” our iPhones from 5 to 6s. They are very cool. However. Rick has spent most of the afternoon trying to get iCloud to update so he can move his data to his new phone. It keeps stalling. Apple people are very nice and helpful and took over his screen and everything but no one can get the damn thing to update iCloud and it’s tough to move without that step. We think he’s going to have to do everything by hand.
Meanwhile I, happily fooling around on the bus with my own new 6s, which did load successfully, accidentally ordered a Lyft ride (it seems that the app screen has a hair trigger.) It was impossible to get any Lyft people on the phone so I could cancel it. Our driver called me and said No worries – he understood – but that if we didn’t officially cancel we’d be charged. However. The cancel key doesn’t work.
All embarrassingly stupid stuff in a world that seems to be crumbling around us. I think I’m only writing this to yell at myself for caring about such dumb stuff.
I feel better already.
