Gremlins



I've never been a very superstitious person. I have no problem walking under ladders, I don't freak out if I break a mirror, I don't throw salt over my shoulder for luck or knock on wood. I swear lately though that there have been Gremlins in my office...not the cute furry ones....oh no the ones from AFTER they eat late at nite, the scary little critters!



I have spent the past 3 days trying to fix my computer, first the internet was moving so slowly that a snail could have won the race....then NONE of my web-sites were accepting uploads from me and then none of the office e-mails were working...30 of them...nothing. Well after being on the telephone with tech support, for what seemed like an eternity, I now get all those e-mails in my 'inbox"...how fucking fun....Came back from lunch and I had 372 to go thru...YUCK!!!!!

Then my copier decides to stop accepting anything bigger

then 8 1/2 x 11 paper...we use legal and ledger sizes on a daily basis...WTF...give me a damned break...

Wouldn't you think that that would be enough...not in my life. NEXT was the phone system...first it stopped letting us answer at all...if you didn't get it before the first half ring it went directly to voice mail...making the caller think that we were closed...then it locked us out of our voice mails completely. Again....an hour on the phone with tech support...it works, for a while anyway.

Maybe I should go back to this phone...carbon paper...pen and paper....life must have been so much easier then.

HERE'S to a better NEXT week!

I Just Might DRINK THEM ALL!
