Computer

Spent almost three hours last night texting back and forth with my IT guy trying to walk me through fixing my DVD burner.  While it's very frustrating not being able to talk to him and move the process along a bit faster, it was also pretty satisfying knowing I did all the work myself and learned a bit more about the inner workings of the computer.  Plagued by computer issues for over a month now, I am hoping this entire mess will be resolved early next week.  I have never had so much go so wrong in such a short amount of time with my computer!  It's humbling to be such a slave to a box full of wires and circuit boards....  when something goes wrong, my business life takes a plunge, and I can only pray my clients will be understanding and patient while I try to hobble along until the problem is fixed.  I am very fortunate that most of my clients are fantastic and sympathetic, but at the same time I am not naive enough to think they are not frustrated.  This current situation has really put them to the test and I am so grateful I can at least tell them now that the end is sight.  Computers... friend or foe?  I think both....
