Okay, I admit it. I always have been and always will be a computer junkie, and these past few months of working from home with a completely computer based business haven't helped my habit. I have a blackberry with internet capabilities and few limitations. I have a laptop with unlimited wireless internet. Heck, I even access my printer remotely via a local network I set up with my internet connection!
It's habit that I'll probably never break, and, thankfully, this era works in my favor. I can shop, talk, work, schedule, bank, and breathe via my wireless connection.
So today will be a day forever burned into my memory in this technologically riddled era. I have been denying the fact for weeks that my schizo-computer has been more on the fritz as of late than usual. I kept telling myself that it was just being tempermental in its old age (six years)! Its allowed to have a few quirks because it ran so smoothly and kept all of my programs and files just the way I liked them.
It was just like a classic corvette. Sure, it might have been a little bulky, but it was all good under the hood and nothing ran better.
Until late last night.
I was actually in the middle of writing another blog post (which is lost and needs to be redone now) when the power dimmed and my poor computer jumped its circuit. It's been doing this for weeks now, but I kept ignoring the facts - praying that it would straighten out after a month or two.
After being unable to revive my old friend for over twenty four hours, I have finally come to the conclusion that the old dog is dead. I will mourn its passing like a favorite friend. It ran well for many years and has suffered numerous reformatting sequences with as much beauty and grace as possible.
So now I face the inevitable future with dread, our household has now become a one computer domain. Yes, that's right. My husband and will now be sharing one computer.
How did we ever survive in the "olden" days?!
I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck.
