You enjoy this wee bit of strangeness from Gill while I make lunch, get back to catching up and continue mildly disliking technology. As the tag says, computers are great when they work.
Do you like breakfast? Do you like lunch? Combining the two often makes brunch, but not always. Have you ever had an interesting food combination? A friend of mine, teaching in Asia, said that recently she tried salad with cereal on it in the school cafeteria. She told me it might have been Frosted Flakes.
Question
What’s the most interesting food combination you’ve ever tried?
Dude. Salad with what “might have been Frosted Flakes” on it? I bet that “might have” been gross. Hard, hard pass. Not to mention that if this is me, unless I’ve just come from being stranded in a desert or lost at sea and this was the first time in a long time that food had not been scarce, I’m making good and goddamn sure that those really are Frosted Flakes. There’s no “might” about it.
That is so blech. But man oh man am I ever glad the computer problem was as simple as it ended up being. And am I ever feeling bone stupid. Not quite as stupid as when I was making the computer say e e e e e because the keyboard was under my chin, but pretty damn stupid that I didn’t try and do some really really basic testing. We could have started solving this ourselves last night, but no, I was completely mystified. In Gill’s words, “Think of something! Duuuuuuh!”
Don’t feel bad. There was at least a 50-50 shot that it wasn’t that, and hey, we were kinda on the right track anyway not that there was anything we could have done about it yesterday thanks to this fantastic spring weather. I’m just glad it isn’t going to cost me a damn fortune.
Me too. My gut was saying it was something relatively painless. I’m glad it was right. I just wish I could have saved you having those terrible nightmares.
Hahaha. the only reason that the shitty NVDA voice told me to sign into Windows so it could properly laugh at me and the tech made the cartoon something is rising into the air noise when I asked what the bill was looking like is that usually when one of us has a computer issue, it falls under the go big or go home category.
