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.

I knew you wouldn't!
That lunch sounds devine.
Yay! Sounds like you are having a great Monday. :)
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.
That is great. You ARE trustworthy!
Well done, I normally only read via feeds, but for today I had to come over and say well done, and keep it up!
You are a man of many talents! It must have felt so good to help them out with the computers.
Lunch sounded wonderful...

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!
