In Good Hands, Stuff & Nonsense

In Good Hands

A car accident is probably one of the worst experiences you can have. First there’s the worry, then the clean up.

Volvo (and seatbelts) handled the worry.

Allstate handled the clean up.

They have been great. They got my car, paid off my loan, sent me a check, handled all the medical bills directly, AND my insurance hasn’t gone up.

How could I ask for anything more?

Stuff

I have three email accounts that I access through Outlook and I wanted to add one more today.

Simple – right?

Wrong. After 6 hours and a bit of “compromising on my requirements”, I have a passable solution.

I know many of you are “solopreneurs”. What do you do for IT support?

Nonsense

My husband sent this picture to me in 2001. It helps with frustrating days.

Yes Liz, breathing is still a good idea.

After all of my woes yesterday, my computer (Vista) decided it didn't like all the changes I made and wiped them out.

Some days we are the ass in the picture!

Great ideas Phil, thanks!

What I love about that picture is that the animal just looks so undisturbed - like it's thinking "whatever - now what?".

Thank you for the stuff and nonsense. I'm smiling. You're a gem to add a little perspective in a world of too much.

Yesterday I got an email that said, "Busy, Busy, Busy," I get 100 emails a day. If I don't respond quickly, please email again.

It's sad that we live in a world like that.

Breathing is still a good idea. :)

Nice ass Ann. Sorry, had to say it, because I do love that picture. Excellent metaphor for life, as sometimes we're the ass and sometimes we're the wagon.

For IT support, I'd recommend finding a friend to barter with for the web stuff, and then finding a local shop or university geek in training that can help you with hardware problems.
