Treading on an iPod

fuzzygrufMy treadmill test seemed to go okay this morning.
Technician: I may have to shave you. Is that okay?
Me: No.
Me: But do what you have to do.
No shaving was involved. The sticky things stuck just fine. A little too well. They hurt when yanked off.
We went to Macy's for lunch at the sushi bar. We looked at cookies afterward at Tom's cookies, but didn't buy any. We did run into bid-dicked Ross there. Woof.
We went to the Apple Store, where I explained my iPod woes to the resident genius. He seemed puzzled. First he told me that he was going to just restore it. I should go home, and if it gives me problems to come back in. He notated that he did the restore so that they wouldn't think I'm making things up. I said okay. Didn't sound right, but worth a shot. He took the iPod to the backroom. He returned and had changed his mind. He decided to just give me a new iPod. I'm not sure what changed his mind. Anyhow, now I have iPod #4. (I only purchased one. They gave me the three other ones as replacements.) It is currently busy, having downloaded 481 of 4066 songs so far.
I told Steve to go wait in the comfortable seats in the training area. I went to grab him after I got my new iPod, but he was engrossed in a Photoshop Elements demo. I sat with him for about 20 minutes. I learned a thing or two.

Date: 2006-04-12 01:10 am (UTC)I'm there with you on the sticky electrode thing. I had a sleep study done late last fall that required electrodes all over the place, mostly on my scalp. It's not considered acceptable to shave the
victimpatient for this sort of thing. Between my head hair and my fur it took almost an hour to wire me up; the technician was kind of grumpy and I was amused. I was somewhat less amused the next morning when I had to pull off all those sticky patches. Ouch!no subject
