Is it Me?

Today is normal or should I say it is always...situation normal AFU?  You know what I mean, SNAFU.

Started out ok and actually has ended (so far) ok ~ but it began with Verizon.  Truly our nemesis.  Mom and I have spent hours on the phone with customer support.  Why can't it be a one stop shop?  It took me awhile to realize that Verizon Wireless and Verizon Landline do not speak to each other, do not look at each other's computer screens and cannot help you with the other.  That is bizarro land to me.  And to mom.

Today, the Verizon bill arrived and Mom likes to pay it on-line but for some reason, it wouldn't let her LOOK at her wireless bill on line.  Turns out, she is registered to view her landline bill, but not to view her wireless bill on line.  Of course one cannot register for one and go to the other.  Didn't I already learn that???!!!!  Isn't the definition of chaos doing something multiple times and expecting the end to be different?  Or maybe I have the wrong word ~ insanity?

I feel like pounding my head against the wall and going back to AT&T.  But, the job is done. Let's wait until next month and see what Verizon does.

Then I decided to go and work on my ipod ~ which has not allowed me to download songs from the computer to the ipod.  For some reason, the usb connection was not being recognized.  I played with it, fiddled with the cord.....if I told you I sprinkled it with eye of newt and hair of fly and it worked, would you believe it?  For whatever reason, it worked.  Magic.

I am going to quit working with electronic devices and go into the back yard and water the pots and have a soothing outdoor experience.  And meditate.  And maybe self medicate. (Notice how the changing of one letter to meditate makes it easier to meditate!)  And drink.

I think I fried my brain.
Love,
Leslie
