Computing Woes...

I had to go into work early today.  I got several frantic messages on my answering machine this morning:

The computers are down.  We need you!!!

I called our always helpful tech support and they walked me through getting all the computers back up.  I was very satisfied at having been so helpful.  I felt like I was pulling my weight at work.

"How did you learn all this computer stuff?" Betty asked me as I was getting a Coca-Cola.

"It just comes natural to me," I replied. "Always has."

Dad handed me a ten dollar bill as I was walking out of the store.

"I am trusting you not to drink," he said. "Go get you some lunch."

I headed straight up the road to Chuck's Barbeque and ate a barbeque pork plate with slaw and potato salad.  It was one of the most satisfying meals I've had in ages.  And I didn't drink on the money -- for that I am very proud.

    Good for you! A well-earned meal tastes twice as good as normal!

    Have a great day - up here in MD we are having a cold rainy day.

    Well done, I normally only read via feeds, but for today I had to come over and say well done, and keep it up!

    That is great--they NEED you! When you are technically challenged we NEED guys like you that can fix a computer. I know they appreciated your expertise. As for your blog, it's not boring and it's certainly NOT dead. Keep on blawing!!! LOL!
