Good tagline.

When my phone has issues, I pitch a fit - with a firm, distinct voice that causes Shannon to turn up and bitch - at the person who insists that electronic things work. It makes me feel better.

I’m tired, too, even though I was lights out at 8:30. We’ll see how today goes. I have a Spanish volunteers meeting tonight, so I probably can’t go to bed before 9:00.

I get very frustrated when my electronics don’t work because for the most part, they are my social life. The isolation of having CFIDS with no phone and no computer was horrendous. The closest pay phone was a block away and I didn’t always have money to make a call. It also meant no one could contact me except by mail or in person, and that meant, most times, not at all.

That was 25 years ago, but I’ve never lost the panic of not having access to help when I need it. So if the phone or the computer is down, the panic is real.
