Let Me Kill The Computer

There is nothing more annoying and frustrating for me than trying to do something new on computers! It’s beyond “challenging” it seems totally incomprehensible at times. I hate when I’m forced to learn about some unknown aspect of using technology. There are so many things I’m great at in life (a good artist, an expert knitter, in perfect health, my bills are easily paid every month, I raised a child to successful adulthood, etc etc). When it comes to computer time? Agony. Usually I’m not an angry person but from time to time I have wanted to punch a computer. 

Search engines are occasionally helpful to figure out what I need to do, and there are AI chatbots that work even better, explaining to my idiotic brain how to make the machine behave how I want.  At my work there is a very patient and helpful IT man who can usually straighten things out for me there, and who I thank profusely each time. WordPress even claims to have “Happiness Engineers” on standby to assist me here, which I’ll probably utilize at some point. I am very thankful for the lifelines!

I thought about trying this BLOGANUARY thing I’d heard about the past two years of blogging, but can’t seem to find an easy way to sign up for the prompts anymore, so I will just be doing my own thing for now I guess.

I’ve done some tweaking of my blog recently and plan to keep improving it throughout the year. For now, though, I’m taking a well-earned break! Happy new year 🥂 🍾
