Computer Troubles

Yesterday was the day from Hell. Everytime I fired up my computer at work, it would allow me to log into the system and maybe start reading my e-mail. Then, POOF, it shut down. When I tried to fire it back up, the fan would fire up and then die and nothing. If I waited a half hour, it may or may not fire up again. And then we repeat the same process. It amazes me how dependent I have become on a computer.

I was actually forced to do things manually, which is slow but it allowed me to review how I do things and realize that I need a computer. Boy could that become a broken record really fast.

I came in this morning to about 50 unread e-mails. Most of them were deleted. Some were saved and the rest well, nothing was on fire. It helps when you have a great drew working for you that manages most of the daily pain in the ass issues that pop up during a day.

At least I didn't have an HAL experience. I would have to change my name to Dave but that is a minor point. Too bad 2001 has already come and gone and we are no closer to getting to the 2001 level of technological expansion than we were when the movie was made. I wonder if we will ever get back to the moon and try to put a base up. Of course they did that in Space 1999. Oops, we are already past that too. Boy were the futurists wrong. Even 1984 was a bust. Maybe we need to keep dates out of titles and just stick to subject matters.

Well, better close up before my computer goes down. What are you doing Dave?
