Stupid, stupid, stupid…

That is what I am!  Last night I was getting out of the shower and reached for my shorts on the hamper.  I forgot my iPhone 4 was on the shorts (it was actually a bit hidden), as I grabbed them my iPhone flipped into the toilet!!  If you never think I swear, you should have been there then!  I grabbed it out of the toilet, which thankfully had been recently flushed, shook off as much water as I could.  Put on my shorts and ran (sort of) to the kitchen.

I grabbed a bowl and put some rice in the bowl.  I jammed the phone into the rice to help dry it out.  I was able to turn off the phone also.

This morning was the time of truth.  I took the phone out of the rice and hit the power button.  No response.  I remembered the iPhone reboot (hold down home and power for 8+ seconds) and did it.  The Apple icon showed up. I waited a bit more, the whole phone came up!  Yea!  I was feeling good.

On the way to work I wanted to take a picture of what was playing on XM but it was blurry.  The glass cover on the lens was fogged up.  I should have taken the blow dryer to it.  I put the phone down at work and charged it up.

The morning passed and I went to lunch.  On the way to the truck the phone turned off and will not come back on!  I am not within my upgrade period for another one.  The 'discounted' price is the same as adding a new line for 2 years and getting a subsidized one.  So I have taken the back off the iPhone, stuck it in rice again, I am going to go buy some guys iPhone he has for sale and see where this all goes.

I hope not to make this mistake again.
