Is anyone out there? Large Nameless Corporation - and it's numerous big-brother like servers - hello tapping screen - what do you mean cannot connect of for crying out loud - we do this every week... rebooting, check, recheck, connection - hello!?!?!?
And that boys and girls was my morning. Until I went and got breakfast, the grocery store and got home, made one more valiant attempt at connecting then called Large Nameless Corporation IT support and let her be frustrated for 20 more minutes - then we succeeded. With elevated accounts and tricking my computer into doing what it was supposed to do. And will someone please let me why the "experts" can't figure out what the heck is going on? I mean you ask me these questions and you type my responses and then you are stupid enough to say something like "yep that appears to be what everyone else is getting - we're not sure why".
It's statements like that - that make normal people snap. Someday someone will develop the technology to push a button and zap the person on the other end - just for stupid --it like that. Sorry no other word was going to work there.
On the up side I have 3/4 of my story learned for tonight, been finishing up some work, saving it to the network just in case and got my turkey for Saturday. I think I pulled something I might need later in life lifting this frozen sucker but hey - we'll have turkey this weekend -and again on Thursday but with a MUCH smaller crowd and at least 2 bottles of wine. At least - more if the in-laws actually show up. (see yesterday's post for that saga) No word from Aunt Ing's parental units regarding what I am now calling the Wendy F-up. or WFU for short. Close to Sanfu - but with something else - like a W - which stands for--- and I've just wandered off into musical theater.
As previously mentioned Bubba is due home this evening, unsure if he will arrive in time for me to see him as I've got to head out to practice tonight. But I promised him dinner and I've got the makings all ready to go. Now we'll just see if he likes it. On the other hand, it's food, you didn't have to pick up, deal with or think about. It's made, on a plate you CAN work the microwave, and way-la dinner. With choice of salad dressings. My word what more could a man want.... Don't answer -- so not going there.
For now we have peace, turkey in sink defrosting, Shelby WAS sleeping on the deck in the sun (she just barked) Violet sleeping inside on a blanket - now perfectly arranged for her comfort, the sun is shining and I didn't have to drive into work this morning or home tonight. Now if I could just arrange for a good massage, cook and bottle washer my life would be complete... Perhaps I should have picked up a lottery ticket too... ah well.
Stay tuned for more tales from crazy-ville or aren't you glad you aren't related to THESE people? :-D
Two things: 1) Whatcha practicing? and 2) can Shelby reach inside the kitchen sink? I'm just thinking of the "Incredible Journey" with the dog and the turkey. And OK one more thing, 3) just remember: if you don't have anything nice to say... come sit right next to me! lol Love ya more 'n my luggage! ;-)
