The Computer Gods Are Angry

It's been a bad week for the internet, it seems. I've lost track of the dead laptops and fried hard drive tales of woe at this point, but one thing is obvious: the Computer Gods must be angry, judging by the technological misfortunes running rampant in the blogosphere right now. The question is, how to propitiate them? Because I really need to get some work done.

I have lost the same post about five times now. Between accidental shutdowns, stupidly surfing away from the page without saving, and the gobbledygook issue that occurred after the Preschooler Occasionally Known As Zen dumped Cherry Kool Aid on my keyboard, it's not been a very productive week here.

All I can say for sure at this point is that red dye #14 does not appear to be the nectar of the gods.

You too?

We may need to burn incense or something in tribute to the tech gods. ;)

Ugh! The Kool Aid treatment does not seem like a helpful one.

As far as the rest of the blogosphere goes, I'm on tenterhooks hoping that my hard drive will last long enough for me to buy my next computer. Which reminds me--time to back up!

I have never really considered that kool aid was really helpful to people never mind computers, everything in moderation except where electrical equipment is involved.

Cherry Kool Aid? Urgh. No wonder the computer gods are annoyed. Try drizzling a nice Australian shiraz into the keyboard - I'm sure that'll appease them.

It also leaves permanent stains in carpet, BTW.

About Me

You say "Single Mom," I say "Solo Mom." In my world, it's all about having your priorities in order, and getting my whites whiter than white is never, ever going to be a priority. Helping my girls paste glitter to their artwork, that's a priority. Sometimes I hide in the bathroom to get a bit of peace and quiet. But I never have to share the kisses.
