My Dependence on Technology
January 29, 2009
So…in the matter of three hours I lost my cell phone and my internet went down. I felt lost! I know this is ridiculous, but I was not sure what to do. I was in the middle of working on a project for work when the internet went down and you would have thought my life line had been cut off. I was freaking out! At the same moment I realized I could not find my cell phone….so I could call charter and try to get the internet fixed. I ran around my house like a crazy mad woman, muttering about life and loss and things of that nature. (I then realized we have a land line and I could call charter and once again bring myself back to a place of sanity.)
After way too much time with my friends on tech support, I once again have internet. (I have have also learned things about pinging and ip addresses and things of that sort. I made three new charter friends because you cannot get the problem solved the first time around.) Jim also called attention to my stupidity. He suggested that using our land line to call my cell phone, may have assisted in the process of locating it within the duvet cover. (It was actually in the cover all the way at the bottom. How did it get there? It must have something to do with physics…everything does.)
All this to say…I think I am pretty ridiculous. Not having wireless internet and a cell phone can make me go a little crazy. I may need to go on a technology detox!
It’s Been a Long time
January 22, 2009
It has been forever since I have blogged. I have decided to jump back in and start blogging again. (I actually had not realized how long it had been.) So…I will catch you up based on important days of the last few months and what happened.
Thanksgiving: Was thankful… ate turkey.
Christmas Eve: Was Thankful and Merry… ate shrimp.
Christmas: Was Thankful, and Merry, and Joyful… ate turkey.
New Years Eve: Was Thankful, and Merry, and Joyful, and Reflective …ate nothing (didn’t feel well).
New Years Day: Was Thankful, and Merry, and Joyful, and Reflective and Resolved…ate chicken.
Well…now we are all caught up. The rest of 2009 blogging will be wonderful!
