Frustration X 10

I've been having some computer issues, but I shut my laptop down and everything seemed okay.

Then, I wake up on Tuesday morning to find that I have no internet connection. I called our internet provider. I was given information about things to try and if one certain connection worked with my laptop, then it was a router problem and I should call the router peeps.

After an hour and a half on the phone with many different entities, I had no connection for my laptop and the Evil Twin's desktop had lost connection as well. Lovely.

Finally, I decided to call the computer place down the street - the one guy had helped me out before when I had wiped out all our firewall settings by accident. He came by, spent 15 minutes here, charged me half price and all was good.

But, that was by noon and I was so far behind on everything, I know I'll never catch up. So, if I missed you on Tuesday, I'm sorry.

I didn't respond to comments because I didn't have time.

It's simple here: the later the day gets, the less free time I have until the kids get in bed. By noon, I'm serving lunch and it just kind of spirals out of control from then until 8 pm.

Add in an unscheduled computer repair and my day was shot all to hell.

At least I don't have a lunch to make today!

Happy Hump Day, homies!

  3. Look at this way, at least the computer didn't crash!

    Hope things become 'less hectic' for you but then does it ever really calm down when the kids are out of school?

  9. I have major fits when I encounter computer problems. If I really had a life, it may not be as bad...but.....I don't.

  11. makes you want to bash your head repeatedly onto the keyboard of your lap top, doesn't it?
    My internet connection vanished into thin air for few hours the other day. I had to get my forehead stitched and buy a new lap-top on the way to the PC doc's office to have my blood pressure lowered with the soothing words, "connection restored"
    It ain't easy being addicted.
