OK, Merry Christmas. Lets get that out of the way before I start whining. I have arrived at TECHNOLOGY HELL.
First off, two weeks ago, I had to replace my home phone system.
Right after that, a friend asked me to print an article I found online.......... end result of two days of trying, was ship printer/fax/scanner to manufacturer to get DOA report. Thank you, just what I wanted to hear.
Next on the path to the center of T.H.
I see DVD of last Pirates of Carribean movie on sale! Yippee I jump on it and wait till just the perfect time to settle into my bed and watch it in 1000watt surround on the big TV........ Not so fast missy. Where is the sound? pull the TV out from the wall, check all the wires, fiddle, fuss, and realize the power light is off on the subwoofer, which powers up all the satlelite speakers.. no sound on the dvd !!! of course it is a holiday weekend so I cannot expect to be able to contact tech support for a few days.
What else could happen!
well I'll tell you what else could happen.
I was entertaining myself last night with the show in the sky. Mars sitting right beside the moon, which was one day after full. I had my telescope out in the driveway, and was watching. I called a friend to go and look.
Well, dummy me woke up this morning and putzed around for a while. I hear my cell ringing, it is in the front yard on the hood of my truck. No biggie, I think. It didn't rain. But in south Florida, the dew is well, wet.
I pick it up and TRY to answer, but the buttons dont work. I keep fiddlin with it, untill it decides to set itself on silent, and as I am trying to remedy that well, it just died..... gone. I am still trying. It is sitting under a light as if it is going to sprout any minute.
Merry Christmas idiot.
Enjoy your stay in technology hell, where everything cost a lot and is obsolete in two weeks. Where the answer to every question is we dont make that anymore, no parts avaiable. buy a new one.
mind you every stinkin one of the items that have failed are less than three years old, and with the exception of the phone, not used to death.
All I really wanted was Johnny Depp in my bedroom. awwww who cares, Merry Christmas ( I hope the oven works tomorrow!)
