It is Official!

It is Official! Mac and Dell WIN!
So the score for the week is Dell and Mac many points, Susie none. I usually am pretty clear about what I know, and what I do not know...in some ways it is a small source of pride for me...this week really hit me with the computer glitches...and today was no exception. My iPhoto has changed the way in which it has worked in the past...and now double clicking the icon does not reveal any of the nearly 800 photos that were there last night. Thankfully Dell taught me earlier this week that data is there...somewhere, and I am able to see them under my downloads icon...so at the moment, I am frustrated, but not in a full blown panic. Tomorrow, I will try again, and then call my Mac friends for assistance...
This is a picture I took last fall at Marvel Stables...I was not really a fan of the Paint Horse, until I met this one...his personality is as beautiful as his markings. This has been a quiet weekend, filled with time for introspection, memories, thoughts, hopes and desires for my future. I can feel my tide changing...and beginning a new direction...though this direction is still blurry...a sort of hazy feeling...I am excited...and happy...and looking forward to tomorrows' 9 am...

Today was another 2.5 hours spent with technical support for Dell. I made two new friends and was elevated a "level", which actually felt kind of nice...with the exception of re-explaining the situation for the 4th time...and all listener's in agreement that it was hard to believe that Dell was behaving in the manner described...go figure...he is 2!
Tonight Dell is sleeping peacefully...and will hopefully wake up in a great (I will settle for usual) mood tomorrow.
This is a picture I took last summer. I really love the way these boxes are positioned. Today as I was discussing my Outlook situation, and Dell's current unwillingness to share my mail with me, my mind remembered this picture, and the simplicity of our snail mail system.
So wish me luck...that after a re-alignment, and great nights sleep, Dell will be ready to get back to work...because honestly...someone has too!

Today Dell, and technology had a laugh on me. When I think about it, my dependence on electronic gadgets is over the line ridiculous...iPhone, Blackberry, Dell, Mac, and my new mini Dell...not to mention iPhone Clock, iPod Bose, hair dryer, hair straightener and electric toothbrush (which completely rocks) to name a few. God forbid the microwave is unable to deliver hot water for my morning orange cappacino...and again I digress...

Up this morning in time to potty, feed, potty the pugs, make coffee, and be in my upstairs office in plenty of time for my first conference call of the day...in firing up Dell...needing to review the call agenda...and yes the clock is ticking...he decides to be "blue" today, and selfish with my "documents"...
3 Calls to IT later...my documents are found to be super hidden, but thank goodness intact...and in 6 easy steps are accessable, and ready for back up. My last back up was the end of September prior to my New York extravaganza. Not too bad considering it was my first "real" back up in years. Tomorrow, I will go back to the Clinic, call IT, and they will then strip and repair Dell. I am looking forward to seeing how that will work for me...and am thinking...not so much...
