I wrote about computer updates yesterday…well…kinda…but…that didn’t mean I was prepared for my computer at work to…blue screen…right in the middle of a busy day…
But…that’s exactly what it did…I was right in the middle of entering the information regarding a student visit…looked up at her for a second…and poof…everything was gone…just like that…no warning…nothing…
Well…it probably gave me warnings…but…I must admit…I’m not that computer savvy…I surely missed them…
Of course…I called tech support…they couldn’t help me remotely…gotta send it in…suggested that I borrow one in the meantime…
Okay…Library has an old laptop…I could use that…unhooked the old computer…hooked up the laptop…it didn’t have MS Office on it…which I use every day…back to the drawing board…they did have a second ancient laptop…which did have Office…exchange them…of course it needs to update…it’s been out of use for a while…
Next order of business…get my computer to the tech office…when I stay late and they don’t…luckily one of the teachers was willing to transport it for me…
Of course…Bertha…was on the sidelines…she can be such an armchair quarterback sometimes…watching…but not offering any technical advice…seems she doesn’t consider herself to be a computer geek…
She did of course relate it to my life…reminding me…of how quickly things change…for the worse…for the better…which is a shift in my thinking…I normally relate to things changing in an instant for the worse…but…it’s true…they also can change for the better…
Hmmm…who knows…I may get a new computer out of this deal…now…that would be better…

Great story, wonderful to see you sitting beside Bertha, after all was said and done, waiting to see what’s next. Great time to visualize what might be nice, if it is a good thought that feels good stay with it!
Have a great weekend, anyway!
Aries…you are absolutely right…visualization would be awesome during that time! Thanks and hope you are having a wonderful weekend as well!
There is Bertha watching from the sidelines! I hope you do not have any blue screens this weekend Jane 🙂
Thank you Christy, so do I…they are not a writer’s best friend! Have a glorious weekend!
