Sorting through the catalog cards, writing my name in pencil on the check-out card and having the librarian officially rubber stamp it.

I rarely ask her a question, preferring to remain the dark, like the old days when we had to go ALL THE WAY TO THE LIBRARY to look stuff up, you know, like a million years ago.Terihttp://tericarter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-31484000514958739892011-11-21T21:38:16.811-05:002011-11-21T21:38:16.811-05:00Averil: Just a wild shot here, but I'm guessin...Averil: Just a wild shot here, but I'm guessing Siri might have a field day with your line of questioning.

I've been using my old IPhone from Finland as an IPod since it won't work here. I usually download music, etc. on my computer and sync with the phone. Anyway, this screen pops up with an update. Since I wasn't having luck downloading the book, I hit ok. It locked my freaking phone so it is no longer usable. I get a message that the sim card isn't installed, doesn't match, blah, blah, blah. Can't even use my music which I paid for. Good thing I bought a docking station last month instead of a stereo. Can you tell this is a bit of a raw subject for me?Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900421223812125267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-77822210099739696482011-11-21T10:38:04.242-05:002011-11-21T10:38:04.242-05:00Erika: Yes, far too many time-sucks available.

You're in good company!<br /><br />There are a couple of websites around dedicated to especially humourous responses or misunderstandings from Siri. They don't do a whole night worth of hilarity any kind of justice, but I still get a kick out of them. <br /><br />~Ashlee<br />http://ashleesch.com<br />http://theDragonsHoard.bigcartel.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-11631979009385864582011-11-20T22:29:54.225-05:002011-11-20T22:29:54.225-05:00Oh, Sherry--there's no hope for this kid.
