Woke Up At Four

Woke up at 4:00 a.m. Not the witching hour. I am usually up around three. Woke up and ran to the computer. She made her happy melodic I am ready song. Thank god as I have to wake up my husband if she does not sing. He can run all of the remotes And fix all of the computers Knowing what power cords to unplug And what buttons to push. If he runs away, I will be helplessly without Anything that runs on electricity For I have forgotten all of the stuff he has shown me About six thousand times Not really interested

It comes intuitively to the youth born after 2010. Weirdly enough. I think they get it through "cell memories" of their parents.

I am the same except one time. My husband went to China for 3 weeks and I needed the computer to skype him. It wasn’t working. Desperately I wrote notes for the conglomeration of wires plugged into his computer. I had to bring the computer like right away to the shop and there was rain looming. The computer was heavy. Etc.. (signed a desperate woman...lol)

I lugged a computer and a monitor to my second school from my first school last week. Then my husband had to come to try and get it to work. He brought it home to "work on". It worked great at home. Just not at school as the HELP DESK had to flip a switch downtown for the internet to work there. Ho Hum.

I actually went to school for computers and such, but after graduating and putting a few years between then and now, I'm not sure I could do much with them either. You amaze with your muse. Blessings

I have to tell you I am going class to class showing a Title IX video and it has been a nightmare on some computers!

Another cute one. I just hire someone to hookup all my electronics.
