Things you can't do when your computer is in the fix-it shop:
--Find out who is sending you messages via e-mail and assuming you got them.
--Watch Office episodes you'd missed.
--Confirm that the local theater company mispronounced Jean-Francois Millet 1,000 times during its play.
--Get the agenda of the Kaysville City Council meeting.
--Broadcast your family news to the family newsletter.
--Find out what the stock market is doing at any given second and why.
--Get directions to your next appointment.
--Draft letters and stories for various assignments.
--Download pictures and send them off to interested parties.
--Locate hotels for future travel plans.
--Post new blog entries.
Things you have to do instead:
--Wait in line at the library with mostly pre-teens, for your turn at the computer.
--Get all your Internet business done in 30 minutes due to library rules.
--Listen in on the couple next to you at the computer, who are trying to get a $20 gift card for spending $100 at Walmart by yelling at managers on the phone, while sitting at the library computer.
--Clean your desk at home.
--Clean the drawers in your desk at home.
--Clean your toenails at home.
But, as with every trauma in life, good comes of trial. And this good comes just in time for Thanksgiving. Now, in addition to my usual appreciation for home, family, food, health, church and country, I am thankful for:
--Computers
--Phones of all types
--Cars
--Planes -- so, so grateful!
--Cameras
--Furnaces
--Men who fix computers
It's a great time to be alive!!
Oh, and could I add ... sunsets?!
