Did you ever have one of those days where everything went sideways and you were just fascinated with each new development? That was my day. Things are back to normal now, whatever that is.
My morning started with a forgotten appointment, but thanks to my 
trusty iPhone it reminded me before I was late. I had totally forgotten it. There was really no chance I would have made it without the beeping phone. No problem. Crisis averted.
Then, I had to be in two different communities photographing properties. No problem. I arrived at the first one and began taking pictures. When I had taken five pictures, my camera started flashing that it was out of memory. What? I have a 16 GB memory card in that camera. I messed with it for a couple seconds and then I realized, no disk. I had left the disk in my computer at the office.
OK, no problem. I have the pictures I needed for house 1, now on to house 2. I stopped by Target on the way and picked up another disk. No problem. When I arrived in the second community I glanced at the directions and immediately took the east direction instead of the west direction. After about 5 miles, I thought something didn't feel right.
I turned around and headed back the right way. I found the house fine, and when I started taking pictures I discovered that my new disk didn't work. It would load about 30 copies of the same image on my camera viewer. That 
would never do.
I'm 30 miles from my office, 15 miles from the nearest store and my wife needs to trade vehicles in less than an hour. Then it dawned on me, I can use my iPhone. I took all the pictures I needed with my iPhone and headed back to the office.
I hesitated to upgrade to the iPhone for a long time, but now I am so glad I did. My old Palm would not have been able to keep up with the changing dynamics today. This was a strange one, but everything worked out and I'm back on course. My iPhone saved the day today, twice!
