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.
I understand. I need my email!
Electronics person had “a short change” at 11:00 last night. That means he was supposed to do something with his employer’s network when usage was low. He got to bed sometime after 1:00 a.m. He always assumes these things will go smoothly, even though at least 75% of the time, something goes seriously wrong. Whatever.
If he doesn’t stir this morning, I’ll let the youth have a lie-in.
