Micros**t Happens

I am always bummed when things don’t go the way I want them to.  Life being what it is, of course, shit happens.

Every now and then my dear PC computer starts misbehaving.  I am nothing if not tenacious with this kind of trouble-shooting as you may have gathered, but right now I’m tired and teetering on the edge of throwing up my hands and saying “I quit.”  The problem is, what I mean by “I quit” is really “I quit but just for a little while” because the computer is a Virtual business’s spinal cord, its lifeline.  The problems have to be resolved.

For some inexplicable reason I’m having software issues and wouldn’t you know, I have a big project urgently requiring some smooth computing.  At this point I’m scratching my head.  What’s happening seems so bizarre to me that I’m leaning towards intentional sabotage by our friend Microsoft (I heard they have new stuff out again).  I guess I have a hard time accepting that things can just up and arbitrarily malfunction.

I am, however, always optimistic and definitely a believer in stuff magically resetting, because I’ve seen it happen time and again.  So for now, I’m saying goodnight and good luck to my machine.

Most likely I’ll lay still for a while and mull over whether PC vs. Mac might be similar to my always being a dog person and suddenly getting a cat, and how wonderfully surprising that was.

Hmmm… wonder if Microsoft is listening to me?

P.S. I am participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge this month – a blog a day if I can.

  1. I feel your pain. I have been having issues for a couple of months. No viruses. No registry errors. No malware…No explanation. I believe mine is a Dell conspiracy, though. They want me to buy a new computer, and I don’t want to. 😉

    1. Thanks Angie, it’s frustrating as hell isn’t it. So far so good this morning, although I left it alone completely while it was booting up and settling itself – I know one of my problems is I get impatient and then start hitting keys, even though I now it’s completely the wrong this to do. Have a great weekend!

  2. Computer issues are never fun — especially for those of us who work online! I hope the computer repair faeries show up soon. 🙂

    1. They did, or maybe my computer just needed a good night’s sleep, either way we’re back up and running, thanks Michelle 🙂
