Ok, ok. Here's the sad truth: I'm only two posts in to my exciting new blog and already I'm struggling for thoughts to write. In fact, it's not the thoughts that are missing, but the inspiring, happy, revolutionary thoughts. That's what I was setting out to do, right? Truth is, my laptop screen was brutally attacked by a shelf that committed suicide.. and the result? I am now using my boyfriend's tv as a computer screen.
When I set out to find the proper cords that would make this happen, I felt myself crawl inside my shell at the Simply Computing store that was filled with what I can only assume are cool new Mac products... not that I'd have any idea what to do with half of them... Anyway, I got what I needed, or at least what I extracted from the slightly unhelpful staff as to what I needed.. came home and cried. Ya, not the best day. And yes, it's also very weird reading my words off a big screen tv. It's also weird going on facebook. Everyone's pictures make them look like Gods on this giant tv. Doesn't quite feel right. And for all I know, the neighbors are probably reading my words off the screen as I type.
So dear followers, the moral of the story is that I am grumpy, and I dislike passing along a grumpy vibe. But what I find when I'm not the grumpy one, is that sometimes it helps to hear someone else's tales of woes and how they acted because it makes me feel more normal for acting in a similar way. I will also admit that just when I felt prepared to tackle one part of the man's world (my previous mechanic attempt), the male dominated technological world came and smacked me across the face. Ugh.
Honestly, it's going to be ok. One thing at time. Today checking oil. Tomorrow, who knows?
But I can promise you this, it will be good.
P.S. Can I also just say that I am thankful that you didn't stop reading? Thank you for listening.
Much love.
"my laptop screen was brutally attacked by a shelf that committed suicide" - Thank you for making me laugh out loud today.
ReplyDeleteThe guys at simply computing are nerdy nerd nerds. Even I had a hard time talking with them. I think we should go in there with suspenders on, big Urkle glasses (which we constantly push with our middle finger) and go "ummm yes precisely" and whip out calculators saying "according to my calculations."
