Argh! Technology!

After working with people on their computer problems all week, I came home Thursday to a laptop that won't turn on. Now that will need to go to some tech guy to fix. Since I'm leaving for India in less than two weeks, that doesn't leave me much time. Can't bore anyone else with how this puts me in a bind. It's not about anything important, just loading books on my ipod. See, boring. I'll figure it out. And I need to find Natalie's blog address. That was on that laptop. How can I see dancing Maggie???
At work we're finally getting over the major Day Light Savings Time fiasco. So whose computer is still messed up? Mine. I can't get the computer to see my contacts. I have distribution groups in there that I need to do my job. Oh, to be truly technical.
But it wasn't all bad. I got to give 3 minute reviews on Friday. They were due some time ago, but we have been so stressed and swamped I haven't been able to give them. I wrote them in November or December. You may gather that I love these guys. Telling them what they have done well last year is a pleasure. Most of them are leaving, so talking about their future was a little odd. Cynthia and I shed a tear. She was asked to come work with us when we had to let people go a year or two ago. She was sceptical, had heard that it was hard to work for me. We've become friends; she is a calming influence on me. Those who know her will find that amusing, but it is true.
I got my review, too. Bill didn't write it in November or December. Luckily, he'd written it recently. It was very nice. At least a couple of things worked right this week.
