If a Brain Were Really a Computer......

I might have some organization to my thoughts.

When I think of something it can't be just filed away and brought out when I really need the info.

I think if the brain is a computer, it is a computer hooked up to the internet.

It's like you think of something that you need to do later and don't worry about it.

But, it's like your mind just stuck it in an email and sent it out into cyberspace where it becomes lost.

But, one day, if you are lucky you will find your sent folder and know what the hell you were wanting to do.

Usually, it's a bit late.
Or in my case, a lot late.

I have been told I could carry around a note pad to jot down ideas and things I need to do.
But, where's the fun in that.

Maybe none.
But, maybe I should do it anyway.

God knows my brain doesn't have everything put into nice neat folders for quick accessing.
Though I would love it if it did.

Life would be so much easier.

Awesome Is As Awesome Does!

Yes, I am AWESOME!

I am feeling so good about myself right in this very moment.

I must savor it.
The feeling may not last.

But, right now....

I'm queen of the world!

When I am on it, I am on it!

I found out what was wrong with some downloads not downloading and I fixed it.
I know, not rocket science.
But, I am the computer savy person in the house.

But, that is only cause I go in and look around and just have figured out things on my own.
What I can't, I look up on the internet.

That is all you can really do.

One time, no joke, I called my internet support cause I kept losing my internet.
I never got much help and finally figured out why it kept timing out and I fixed it.
They should have paid me.
I sure as hell did their work for them.

I do that a lot.
I try all the troubleshooting things first that I READ that I need to try.
If that doesn't work I call and they have me do everything I already did.
I tell them that I did that and they are just like "Well, let's just try it again".
Seriously!?

And than they seem so surprised when it doesn't work.
Oy vey!

I have figured out how to fix things so many times just by reading manuals or looking up on the internet.
Or even just by using the ol' noggin.

More people should try usin' the ol' noggin thing.
It really works!

And that's why I am feeling so very awesome right now.

Never Miss It Til It's Gone

My phone almost never rings.

Really.
Truly.

I can goes days with never hearing it.

But, I know it's there when I need it.

Only, not today.

Something funky happened and I couldn't call any long distance numbers and I had no internet.

I don't know if I could receive calls, but I don't think so.
Cause the one person I could call was the mil and she had tried to call the old lady that loves up the road from me and all she got was a busy signal.
That is what I got when I tried calling out of town.

I did really miss my internet.
I had some posts to write for yummy stuff and I couldn't do that with no internet.

So, once again this has gotten me to thinking that maybe I should think about a pre-paid cell phone for times such as these.

What if I needed to call 911 and couldn't call out?

I had a dial tone, but what good does that do if every call outside the nearest town just starts beeping?
