The convoluted trials of my tech issues of the past week and a half are too numerous (and whiny) for prose so in true marketing fashion I have come up with this handy chart.
Computer problems of the recent past:
Additional data
The worst moment was realizing how completely addicted to the Internet I am! I'm not talking Twitter and Facebook. I'm talking trying to access support numbers without the Internet. I was panic-stricken until I remembered that ancient artifact called… say it with me… a "phone book." And it's extra sad because I used to do a lot of admin work back in the day (you know, when not everyone and their mother (Hi Mom!) was on the Web) and I was QUEEN of the phone book! I could find anything with a phone book and perhaps the number to any given city's Chamber of Commerce. (I also knew how to ship anything… rates, methods – not applicable here but I'm just saying.) Without Web access I not only was faced with my own techie mortality, I had to come to terms with the fact that I've forgotten all my old survival skills.
Lame.
Anywho. Let's see if we can catch up this week, shall we?
Missed you madly, the weirdgirl
Cripes, I had a personal phone book AND a rolodex back in the ‘old days,’ and then, the other day, the telephone company dropped the 2009 phone book on our steps, and I sighed because I HATE getting new phonebooks, so I grumbled to my husband that the phone company should put that damn book on CD for us to use on the computer, and he was all, “That’s all well and good, until you need a phone number because your computer’s tanked.”
Touche, Mister Smartypants. Touche.
(however, yeah! All my information down there on your comments page is now back and I don’t have to reinsert them when I come here to comment!)
Wow, you’ve had quite a tech meltdown. It’s amazing how dependent we are on these gadgets.
Ah computers, can’t live without them, can’t punch em in the face. Welcome back!
Nice to see that the rumors of your demise were wrong.
Welcome back! I love the chart.
And many times I have wondered how we ever found anything before the internet. I know we must have… but it seems hard to imagine now.
