For 99.99% of people, getting a new phone - the latest iPhone model, is an event in its own. There is excitement, happiness, pure awe in the whole process from the purchase all the way through setup and migration to getting it all going on the new phone.
However for me there is only dread. So much that I left the phone untouched since we bought it yesterday after lunch. I only got to it this afternoon and even then I wasn't really into it and slowly took my time while finding excuses about being busy with work.
Why's that? Because my phone is setup with my company's mobile VPN and profile settings. It is used to unlock my laptop, gain access to all applications and servers. And I've learned over the years that messing with this can be quite a hassle and endless opportunities to mess up.
And oh boy did I mess up .... I am now unable to unlock my laptop. This is exactly what I most feared and it happened. Now I have to get to office tomorrow and pray the tech support can do magic and unlock my laptop. I don't have any backup of the laptop and it will be catastrophic if I lose everything.
I'm actually in shock this happen. Imagine paying two thousand odd dollars for a phone that gives you a horror experience. I'm dumbfounded and my mind is totally blank. I should be regretting it and feeling frustrated but no, I have no feeling ... its as though I simply was dealt a blow and I fell over.
I'm sure I will recover from this. But at what cost? We'll know tomorrow. I can only mark this as a key life experience and hope this phone can last the next 10 years. I cannot take this dread too often.
