Addicted to

I have just had the worst weekend ever.  My computer ceased to work.  Of course it did work as an ordinary computer.  I could still use Word or Excel if I felt so inclined. (I didn't.)  However, I wanted to get on to the Internet.  I wanted to go to Igoogle and Facebook and do my general knowledge crosswords and of course access Google Chrome where I compose my blog.

Every time I tried to go onto the net I got the same silly message," Forget it old woman you cannot go onto the Internet, it no longer exists for you."  Well words to that effect really. I spent some time talking to people at Optus and after they realized that I am a complete nitwit they gave up.  One person offered a great solution, that I should get a technician to come in and fix it for me.  Needless to say I do not have enough money to keep myself housed and fed so getting a technician is out of my league entirely.

The best thing about my problem is that my friend Jo is down from Queensland and she is a computer whiz. Today she came and did wondrous things.  She spoke to an Optus person, who even I could understand, and  then she fixed the computer for me. I do not know what I would have done if she hadn't fixed it. I could have asked my friend's son but I do hate to disturb him especially because he is the go to guru that the ordinary gurus have to go to at an extremely large company.  He gets enough silly questions a day without me adding to his stress.

I have had my computer fix.  I am happily sending messages to everyone to tell them that my computer is working.  They were all having a garden party thinking that I had finally been silenced so I guess I have spoiled their little celebration.

I am baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
