This morning…
With fingers poised over my keyboard…
And an idea in my head…
For my blog post today…
I turn on my computer…
Hmm?
Why is my desktop picture changed?
I go to click on my blog icon on my desktop…
Huh?
Where is it?
And
Where are ALL my icons?
** breathing faster **
I go to click on WORD…
My recently re-download WORD…
Because my other computer crashed.
WHERE IS WORD???
** breathing accelerates **
I click to check my email files…
All my email files – GONE!
** hyperventilating **
I go to find my recovered files from Carbonite…
GONE!
** tears * wailing * sobbing **
Then…
An inner voice calmly says…
Take a deep breath…
Remember yesterday?
Your nephew used your computer?
BASTARD!
Did he sign in under guest?
I have no idea.
Shut down your computer, then start it up.
15 seconds go by…
The longest seconds of my life.
Computer boots up…
Apple tune plays…
Two graphics pop up…
USER GUEST
With shaky finger, I click on USER and…
GLORY HALLELUIAH!!
Desktop, Icons, deck, files - All there!
** breathing returning to normal **
Phew!
My computer was intact…
And my sanity…
Because for a few brief moments…
I felt like I was slipping over the edge.
But you didn't. You can relax now.…
It's too early for wine…
But chocolate will work.
Go ahead. Indulge. You earned it.
So?
How’s your morning going?
Ever experience anything like this?
Always,
Em-Musing
