There Must be a Lesson Here- Somewhere

I guess most of us have one of those days, weeks, months - you get the drift - where everything seems to be conspiring against you. This is my week, and I pray and hope not my month where many things are just not going too right.

First off, I’m sick, and then my son got sick. Bad enough, but we’ll survive. Then my husband’s just one year old PC decides to start acting up. Shutting down every few minutes, the PC guru said it’s the monitor acting up…lots of tech talk. Did I mention that my husband is a freelance graphic artist and needs his PC is working order? So for the last few days he has been struggling to get some work done.

Ok, we just a few months ago paid to have an old PC upgraded for our son, Jalen, so we hooked it up. Heard the fan going, but nada – nothing happens. The monitor is blank and nothing is happening. I tried a little tech work – still nothing. So there goes the second PC.

Well, my mother-in-law has a PC that was repaired at the same time my son’s own was. She hasn’t used it since so we borrowed and hooked it up – what is happening here. I got another message, ATAPI INCOMPATIBLE - Nothing happening, but finally a little light at the end of the tunnel – a message to press F1 – so F1 was pressed.

Well, my hope was shattered, as I cannot get online with this PC…tried all the tricks I know – no dice. To top it off, no sound is coming from the PC – a message popped up saying that no sound device installed. I can’t check online for updates or drivers because I can’t get online.

Well, my husband is lamenting that he never had these issues when he used only Macs ---so I see us going back to the ‘he’s a Mac and I’m a PC’ family.

Oh, yeah, husband is sneezing up a storm and sniffling! So no doubt about it – he’s getting sick too.

There is definitely a message to be learned here somewhere, I just don’t know what it is yet.
