Tech Frustration!

I just glanced at the clock and realized I have spent two hours trying to sign in to an event on my computer. First I was told by my computer ( we’ll call it “crazy” just for fun) that I needed a password (**####) to access my event that I couldn’t get on the computer until I was allowed to get on the crazy computer. Then I saw the word “error” in tiny print in the upper right corner of the screen. So I clicked on that and was told I was not on the internet. I then checked all the reasons I WAS on the internet I started all over again.

I checked “systems” and the wi-fi was on and running well. After 30 minutes I discovered only my gmail account was the problem, or at least that’s what crazy computer said to me. I then turned too my yahoo account and tried to sign-in on the event… no luck. So I spent the next 30 minutes-at least- trying to call COX and find out that was going on with my business account. Ten minutes to find cox phone number – 15 minutes to listen and respond to a message informing me that the person I had called was out of the office until next monday… I turned to my phone and tried to get the event page and low- and

behold !! I got it! First thing was to sign in with my google account. I did that to the best of my ability…which at this moment was not running at full speed…frustrated. Google kept sending me back to the little “error” picture at the top of the google page. GURRRRR! Which kept referring me to the internet.

I switched to Yahoo and the internet worked well so I pulled up the event and GOT IT! Glory-be! So it is a Eventbright event and I immediately began to worry about how I could do this again on Sunday to actually attend the event! Yikes.

I both love and hate technology. I love it when I am fresh and everything works well. I hate it when the tech gods are out to get me! We’ll see what happens Sunday. I’ll keep you in touch.

I don't limit that word relationships; all kinds of relationships with those people and loved others. What are our connections? What gets in the way of healthy relationships? How we support and create our relationships with others, self and the world. I hope you will join me and let me know the places you agree and, importantly, the places you disagree.

One thought on “Tech Frustration!”

  1. Too funny! We call this “tech trauma” in our household— and it seems to never end. Glad you finally got it for yourself without an intervention (in my case, my son) and enjoy your “event,” Katy!
