Why, oh why, does the computer always feel like it's got to "one up" me?! Yesterday afternoon the computer I use at the office was acting stupid. It had absolutely nothing to do with the operator. We utilize "outlook" as our email option at the office. The program became extremely sluggish and then locked up. I needed to send some documents to another title company and promised I would do so right away. AAARRRGGG!
I am not a patient person about anything. Those that know me can attest to this. In a moment of frustration, I popped and clicked on several buttons. "To hell with it", I thought. I shut the son of a bitch down. It did its start-up routine and we came to a mutual understanding that we would finish the afternoon in harmony or so I thought.
I like to listen to XM radio online while I'm working. Depending on my mood, I have several channels to select from. After the computer was mean to me, I needed some ass-kicking music. Signed back on to XM radio and saw that it wasn't connecting to the media. OH.HELL.NO. After several attempts, I punted. But then I noticed that there was absolutely no bells or whistles happening when normally the computer takes advantage of every chance it can to beep or boop or chime at me. I realized that absolutely no noise was coming out of the speakers. Damn it. Power on, power off. Nothing. Switched speakers with another computer. Nothing. I wasn't in the mood to jack with it so late in the afternoon and decided to tackle the problem in the morning.
And now for the lesson of the day: WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, REBOOT - AGAIN! So far, so good this morning. Currently listening to Fleetwood Mac. Hoping for a smooth and uncomplicated day.....
