Sadhvi
I tried to fax one piece of paper to a client of mine today. It didn’t go through. Hmmm, I called her to tell her that there seemed to be a problem. I asked her if she had gotten any faxes recently? She said no, that actually, she had never received one; she just sends faxes on occasion. Well, she tried to find out if she could get it working, and couldn’t. Too bad, right?
Then I emailed a terrific coupon to a friend of mine from the local health food store: a pound of organic coffee and a big package of granola for free, with any purchase – wow! My friend wrote me back saying thanks, but her printer wasn’t working today. Darn!
iPhone
My husband rarely gets any bars around where we live with his iPhone because the service is so bad with AT&T. But it’s supposed to be so great now that our area has finally got 3G service, and now I see they even offer 4G service – oh boy! It never makes any sense to me as to why someone would want a cell phone with little or no coverage, unless it was really just a toy, which it is. I had one for about 3 days, which was the limit of my patience with no coverage. Strange enough though, the comments I got from people just seeing me holding that worthless phone were kind of funny…they all thought I looked cool holding it!
Then I get an email from a friend saying I should check out this system called EVERNOTE that says it will help me ”Remember everything”. Now that is a tempting proposal, but really, just looking at their web site just made my migraine worse (click on the big bold EVERNOTE link above and see if you don’t get an immediate reaction to run away. I double dare you.)
I cannot handle another thing to make my life simpler, and that includes hearing about it either…including, but not limited to: Kindle, the latest Smart Phone, the new GPS device, getting more business using Twitter, or any of the other new and wonderful Social Media that keeps making me feel like I have to keep up…that’s it, I think I have reached my limit!
Instead of trying to keep up with the latest s0-called technology, I am going to go back to what I enjoy the most: recipes and gardening. And being curious about other people…maybe I will start to interview my interesting friends and family for a while.
Now excuse me, I have to go through the emails that came in while I was writing this post before they build up to the point where it becomes my new part-time job.

Hahaha! I just got the Evernote app for my Pad; and I just got my Pad. I feel like I just fell through the rabbit hole and am getting eaten up! It’s time to evaluate how much time I spend communicating vs. how much time I spend writing. The latter’s getting short-changed.
I think I’m ahead of the game, because I never got into it to begin with! I’m with you that it’s an “inconvenience” if anything.
I hear ya! I did check out Evernote. And while the idea is kinda nifty, the quickly changing images did give me a headache and I left the site fast!
Yes Annice I need a housewife, or a maid too. But I also need technology to work! As for trying to find something encouraging to say Va, well, encouragement to say the truth is good too. I mean, why is bringing up the question of having a conversation considered ranting. The emperor IS naked!
I tried to think of something encouraging to say, but I am a loss. Is it too much to say I get overwhelmed when I think of facebook, tweet, toot, linkin and other myriads of communication styles that floor me. What has happened to conversation! (I know, I know, I’m ranting).
Right on. As for me, I’m looking for a “housewife,” you know the kind, the ones that stay home and don’t work outside of the house. That’s my dream.
