There was a personal technology war this week when I was locked out of our timekeeping software for two days. All I wanted to do was log my timecard that was due today. It required professional help in the form of a reset by the administrator. There was grumbling. The mood was stormy.

| The mood was stormy. |
This morning, there were three unsuccessful attempts to log
in to the system to even be able to start working. It finally took the classic
move of turning off the computer and turning it on again before I could log in
and begin to function. Of course, being stressed out over the ordeal,
frustration clouded brain function and it took a co-worker mentioning the on/off
step for me to “think” of it today.
All day, every day for a while now, much too long really, it takes forever to open an
excel workbook or a word document. It’s like 1993 internet and computer speeds all
over again. Click to open the file, make a cup of tea, count to 20, do a handstand, and there
is the file, finally. Frustrating.
Despite the quirky computer issues and delays in our
timeline caused by tardy deliverables from other teams, many things were still completed
and crossed off the weekly to-do list on time. Miracles do happen. The storm clouds parted.
After work, it was a microwaved supper of leftover tortellini with the onion, mushroom, broccoli Alfredo sauce, which was also lunch. And dinner last night. Then a comatose stretch on the couch to decompress. Dead to Me has a new season which I finished, and then it was Why Are You Like This, which I realized I’d already seen ten minutes into the first episode and then was too lazy to look for another show and let it keep running. Plus, the Australian accents are fun to listen to.
