When Technology Goes Bad
Yipes! It's been a while since I was so dependent upon an aircard and it shows. I pretty much maxed out my little Verizon friend and am actually already into the overage charges yet I haven't done a quarter of what I am used to doing.
Granted, I'd planned to transition back to what I like to call Mobile Office Central (my go-to travel setup) but it happened much sooner than anticipated and thus, I was caught with my tech panties down.
5 computer systems (2 desktops, 3 laptops), 3 printers, and my DSL line somehow fried. I hadn't realized how difficult it would be to juggle everything in the face of catastrophic, I-live-more-than-30-miles-from-town home office failure. I always *assumed* I'd have at least a couple of systems, printers, and the network available.
The most interesting part of this fiasco is my mindset: I'm not freaked. Something happened in the last few months and I'm not sure when. I started not being so obsessed with tech.
Computers, gadgets, software, WordPress plugins, Blogger functionality tricks ... I still get a kick out of all of it but the almost OCD'ness isn't there.
By golly, I think I've become normal!
