iPhone Drama - Apple makes my head spin

So for over a year I was a happy owner of a 1st generation iPhone. When you haven't had anything but that or a standard cell you don't know anything what the better ones are like and are cool with that lol.
Well Apple went and screwed that whole thing up since they had to go and come out with the iPhone 4 and make my poor little 1st Gen obsolete. So my hubby being the sweet guy he is went above and beyond to find me a 3Gs that wasn't crazy expensive. Which he did and we thought we were getting the right version of it. Well after a long drive to pick it up we found out that there was no hope on jailbreaking it. So it has sat in its box for weeks now waiting for a new jailbreak and I was using a 3G that needless to say does not run iOS 4 worth anything using.

Last night when he got home we got the best news that the jailbreak had finally come to jailbreak all devices no matter the boot rom or whatever. And it worked!!

Apple and the dev teams make me go through such a roller coaster its nuts. But I am now finally on a not obsolete iPhone again and it runs iOS 4 like a dream.

The dev teams and the hard work they do to get these phones working for the masses and not just for people stuck with AT&T is great. I'm with T-Mobile and plan to stay here for a while.

APPLE SERIOUSLY WHATS IT TO YOU!!!

Ok so yesterday involved quite a bit of fussing and whining and really just being bratty and this was all from me not the soon to be 7 yr old LMAO

Ok so yes I have a jailbroken iPhone, seriously anyone who doesn't want to be on AT&T crappy service basically does because the service is crappy there the phone however is not and works PREFECTLY fine on other services ie. T-Mobile. Where I have happily been for quite some time now.

Well yesterday my poor phone decided to have a melt down and is now stuck in a boot loop that I can not recover from because now to restore to a new firmware I must wait for the genius people who manage to figure these jailbreaks out. Bless them so :)

But yes yesterday was me whining and crying because I really felt like my phone crapping out like that I lost a best friend lol, its there with me all the time it keeps me entertained, it helps me communicate all the time and now its sitting on a charging waiting. Waiting for a chance to revive to a new operating system.

So again I ask WHATS IT TO YOU APPLE, why do you care where we take your precious iPhone. If we pay for it why do you care AGGGH. The last I heard your friggin contract ended with AT&T stop kissing their ass. Spread the love around some go to other companies. Believe me Steve, T-Mobile would be very happy to hang from your !@#$@ also.

Ok so I started this post yesterday thus the date at the top, still no luck its stuck in this horrid boot loop with no hope still until the wonders that be of smart hackers get 4.0 jailbroke for my version sigh.

Still down troddin, and have not slept well imagining walking in the office and seeing something different.

Einsteins definition of insantiy "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting something different." Yes I can see that LMAO

Now don't let this make me sound like I'm just obsessed with my phone but yeah I text alot, and I use it to keep notes and it has all my contacts and I'm sorry my crappy little cheap nextel for work just does not cut it for these things LMAO.

SIGH

Back to Work just figured I'd finish this post before I did actually get the phone back up and working lol.

Job Postings Piss Me Off :P

Nothing irks me more than to see a job posting for a position not much different than the job I currently have and to see something like this "PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS AD IF YOU HAVE NOT GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE. PARTIAL COLLEGE COURSES COMPLETED WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.*** YOU MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE IN OFFICE MANAGEMENT FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 YEARS." And a Qualification listed as "Bachelor's degree preferred/Associates considered as commensurates with environment and one year related experience and/or training in a business office environment."
This was in a job posting for an Office Manager.

I come across stuff like this all the time and well I'm sure your asking well why does it irk you. Believe me I am not knocking going to college or think its not necessary, I do however find it a bit absurd to make it a requirement for a job that having a college degree has nothing to do with it.

I am one I've always wanted to go to college but started my family early and well that time is going to have to wait for now. However in that time I have gained so much life experience. Something "some" college grads are not even going to be able to offer because they have been in a classroom. Mind you I said some not all.

I just feel I have missed out in life on having the chance at a position based solely on this fact that I have not made it to college yet. However they are missing out on some decent skills that not everyone would have to offer.
I can run your office, work in any program you need me to on your computer, I'll figure it out if I haven't been in it before believe me. And if an issue arises with a computer I can fix it so there you are saving money by not having to hire an outside source.

So basically this certain posting pissed me off and I gave the person what for LOL. Its no skin off my teeth I'm not looking for a job so why not give someone a piece of my mind lol.

Here is what that lucky person got in an email.

"I just wanted to write to you to mention that demanding someone have graduated college to run your office is a bit absurd. You do not seem to realize the quality of candidates you are missing out on by having that as a requirement. I for one am someone that has the same if not more experience as someone that has been through college. And also not only do you get someone fully capable of running an office without constant supervision but you also get someone that is able to fix computer issues when they arise without having to hire an outside source to fix it.
I'm not trying to apply for the position nor am I trying to waste your time, I just want you to realize in this current job market requiring someone to have graduated college to have a position like this is just not right and you very well might not end up with someone as qualified as you could if you opened your options up more.

I see these type job offers and it irks me to no end to think well gee I could offer this person everything they are looking for but I guess I'm not good enough even though I have even more to offer then what they are looking for."

Hope they didn't take offense to it, they just caught me on a bad day lol.
