FATAL ERRORS

Well,  it was a Monday!  When I got to work today my computer had a lovely blue screen with a "your computer has encountered a fatal error" message, so I re-booted (yes the computer instructed me, that a re-boot was required).  Logged into my e-mail to receive those super acheiver e-mails from Sunday.  (Question to self why do so many of my fellow workers feel compelled to do soooo much work on Sundays?) When bloop another fatal error occurs (enough already, I too would like to skip Monday).  Of course the computer room is not awake so I leave a Help message.  

My help message is responded to by a technician who is over a hundred miles away. He promptly suggests that I (49 again me) crawl under my desk to check my connections.  I haven't had my coffee yet, and I'm the only one in the office so I'm a little concerned about getting out from underneath the desk.  I expressed my concerns and the technician said I was very funny..but still sent me under the desk.  I get out from under the desk only to be instructed to performed some thing called a hard re-boot (It would have been easier to just kick the computer).

Again I open my e-mail...this time my computer made a valant effort to allow me to work by allowing the in-house accounting system to come up...but again when asked to really think decided to produce another fatal errror.   I should have just packed it in then and there and taken the day off...but no I just carried on by using a co-workers desk...good effort on my part if I do say so myself.

Trouble continues to train his humans (me).  He stayed out all night.  I got up every hour and called the cat.  Bet my neighbors love me.  About 5 AM in comes dear Trouble.  I was very happy to see him.  He ate two bowls of cat food, crawled into my arms, snuggled up against my neck and ears and purrrrred his best loving purrrrr.  Before I knew it he was dead weight in my arms and his puurrrrr had changed to heavy breathing.  Luckly Troubles overnight adventured turned out to be a non-fatal error.  Tonight Trouble is in and already curled up in his bed!!!
