In PC Hell today

I hate technology.

Me when 8 hours of rebuilding 
a laptop nets nothing... 

A full day of debugging a problem between my PC and my Android phone.  The problem determination just slowly devolved from checking various settings to finally having to do a full-blown rebuild of my laptop.  Meaning I was off line for most of the day, and probably again tomorrow as I tackle the phone with, hopefully, a clearer head.

I have it recovered enough to hobble along for a bit and get crap caught up. I hate when shit just stops working for no apparent reason. 

In the process, I have lost access to my Apple mail account as well. And Crapple, true to form, forced me to change my Email password, when then logged... every... fucking... system... out.  

My longest scream of the word "FUCK" in months. 
 

...meaning that every fucking time I tried (and failed) to log back in, I had to scramble to find something to get the Mother Fucking Apple (MFA) pin from every fucking time the fucking crap would refresh. Sorry, the Tourettes is flaring up; does that when I am stuck working on technology all day and it involves iOS. 

It's 6:10PM.  Been at this since... 8AM this morning. 

  
 

 

Monday

 The last day of August AND it's a Monday feeling...

September 25 - Dolly Day


Reported on the blog Seriously? OMG! WTF?, Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood are working to make September 25. 9/25, a day to celebrate Dolly Parton.  

Brooks and Yearwood’s Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk will honor Parton on Sept. 25 by declaring the date ‘Dolly Day.’ The choice of 9/25 is a nod to Parton’s iconic hit ‘9 to 5.’ On that day, Friends in Low Places will donate its entire income for the day to children’s literacy.

They are asking if we all help to make September 25th, Dolly Parton Day, and donate $9.25 to Imagination Library.  What a wonderful tribute!  

"We can also honor her by working to make the world a better place, touching one person at a time with a smile and a laugh!"  

Count me in!!!
