Surfing the Web

I, the technologically challenged one,
am surfing the web even as we speak.
I thought computers would be one and done,
but now I find that we must all speak Greek
and learn the ins and out within a week.

This is nothing new; it's gone on for years.
I learned the basic Word and Excel stuff
once upon a time, but none of it clears
a temp agency, it's just not enough.
So in the end I'm playing blind man's bluff.

Your brilliant ending line says it all! Sometimes you just have to bluff! As far as the skills go you must use it or lose it when you learn something new. I constantly struggle with trying to figure out things that keep changing on my computer. Best of luck in the contest! : )
