A couple of observations. My T-Mobile phone tries to tell me that (800) 275-2273 is the number for Anytime Fitness, but sure enough, it connects me to a service purporting to be Apple Support. I believe it is Apple because I'm able to select what kind of hold music to play. By pressing 3 I get a selection of non-offensive smooth jazz, which is in line with what I think a 70-something Apple customer would enjoy. A touch old fashioned for me to completely enjoy, but well executed, which I can appreciate. And it's probably better than dead air.
Okay... I was able to talk to Quill? Quinn? at Apple Support who stepped me through the process of recovering an AppleId from a gmail account I no longer use. The key here was to remember the security questions, which, thankfully, I did. I don't know if there would have been a way to recover it had I forgotten them. Once I proved to the system I was the "real" owner of the AppleId at that account, I was able to add my phone number and change the security questions. Not sure why I wanted to do that last step, but it seems like I should change them (and then write down the answers on a piece of paper I put in a safe deposit box.)
The weird thing is I think I did all these things before. I did identify myself to the Support Rep (Quill? Quinn?) -- did they put this one account back in a state where it would allow me to reset? The world is filled with mystery.
Next we're going to see if I can apply for the position I originally wanted to apply for using this AppleId.
Hey, if you would be so kind as to fix all the PDF links to engineering details on your site as well as linking to the patent.. you might get responses.
Set rules, not boundaries. What do I mean by that? When out for walks, we’d tell the kids that they had to stay on the path, they could go as far as they wanted.. as long as we could see them and they could see us. Oh, and keep a close eye on your parents., they are easily distracted. What happened? When they were 2 they went 5 meters.. by 8 years old they go to the curve in the path.. and come back to tell us we had wandered off again!
It was awesome. We never had to yell at them.. they had clear and simple limits.
That worked really well, but we had to learn the hard way not to set expectations we couldn’t absolutely control and guarantee. Let’s go have ice cream and the favourite place.. oh no. They’re closed.. meltdown. Let’s wander that way and see what we find.. much safer.
Congratulations! Enjoy it!
