Tech People Get It

Yesterday I fully intended to do two posts. However, Thursday night the new computer system completely screwed up and I spent 45 minutes on the phone with tech support ending only 25 minutes before my show was supposed to start. Which meant yesterday I had to go in stupidly early to see if I could make it behave. I did not win. I have never had a computer so thoroughly kick my butt before, and I don’t like it. At any rate, that’s why a post never happened. By the time I had time after dealing with that, the game was on and I had to work. And then there was some decompression time where I didn’t come near a computer for fear I would hurt it.
