So I dropped my laptop in California.
Yeah, I know. Don't even say it.
So Tech Support over at the office said, hmmmmmmmmmm, you might want to get this looked at while it's still under warranty. The problem was, I was out of state. I decided, since it seemed to be functioning (most of the time), that I would need to wait until I got home.
Problem is, once I got home, I got busy (alright....lazy).
Yesterday morning, in the middle of sending out some e-mails, the darned thing just stopped finding the Internet. Dang it!
So, after a few attempts by my son to see if he could figure it out (which obviously won't work if he's long distance which requires some Internet connection - duh) I got Technical Service on-line.
Two hours later, the computer checks out as working great. I'm exasperated (mingled with relieved), so I decide to take a break and feed the fishies.
Funny, the pump is not running and the lights are not on the fish tank.
Oh, wait......
That's when I figure it out. The power's off.
No power......no Internet.
Conclusion: I am NOT smarter than a computer.
Or probably a pineapple for that matter.
Geesh......



Oh thank you! I am so grateful that you would share a story like this with us! It gives me hope that I am not the loser I sometimes estimate myself to be if someone I esteem as much as I do you does the same kinds of things I am known for doing!
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome, Nina! I hope some day to become even half as accomplished and wise (this situation being easily dismissed as a fluke) as I consider you to be.
Love, Trina
Lucky me. I have Trina in my life. You are the best and brightest. Dainty people are soooooooo boring! You are NOT boring.
