This computer is on its last legs, and has developed a habit of bleeping at me from a dark, blank screen and not letting me go any further - tricky that when you've got two deadlines (can you hear me screaming?).
New computer arrives on Monday - I hope - so normal service will resume next week. So while I'm not able to blog or read your blogs for a few days, I will be back soon.
Meanwhile, I'm frantically trying to finish a piece on a nearby animal rescue centre before the pc crashes again.... I was in tears most of yesterday transcribing the tape and now writing it, the floodgates are opening yet again.
I will leave you with a joke which has enlightened my week.
A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles while taking a bath.
'Mom', he asked, 'Are these my brains?'
'Not yet,' she replied.
Have a good weekend!
PS Computer not arrived yet - am hanging on by fingernails and hoping this will see me through the last deadline!
RIP old computer! Like the joke - very witty! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteExcellent joke. Hope the new computer will be just what you wanted. Could do with a new tower myself.

ReplyDeleteCrystal - I just want a computer that works! I need new toner as well - everything's clapped out at once!

ReplyDeleteAt first when I read that I thought atht you were crying because of your deadlines versus your ancient computer... and then I realised.....

ReplyDeleteAww, it's gonna be a saddy, isn't it? I'll remember my tissues when you put the post up.

I do hope you managed to get done what had to be done before your 'puter gave up the ghost. You must be looking forward to Monday!

Talking of old computers. I had a comment all written and then fell off line. I hope your computer has hung in long enough to finish your article on animal shelters.
ReplyDeleteWoof x
Ak - well typically now I've threatened it witha replacement, it's working OK. but I'll be relieved to get the new one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Grump - yes it's Sunday morning and I'm putting teh finishing touches to teh animal centre piece. Nothing like a threat to make a computer work again!
ReplyDeleteThat saying is true of all men ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have chosen an Apple Mac as you are a writer, you will never look back and will have so much fun.
ellee - no I am a pc person - we tend to be divided don't we?! I dont care what it is as long as it works!!
ReplyDeleteGreat joke FP. I hope your computer arrives on time & that you're able to finish your articles.
