I just need to yell for one second. Please hold on to your shorts because it will be a LOUD one: ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I am home alone, proceeded to put my pasta in the microwave and my microwave made a weird noise (sort of like I do when I put on too-pointy high-heeled shoes or thong underwear) and everything shorted out except for the light shining on my oven which never worked before but I now can't get to go off. Then the oven fan went on by itself along with the timer. I expect Jack Nicholson to appear any moment. I'm having a hot flash on top of this. I also burned my finger. Just thought I'd share a glamorous moment with you all. I think I'll pour a glass of wine and whimper for a bit. I still can't turn that danged light off, either. I'm tempted to find the hammer.

Oh Trixie!! I feel for you....I REALLY do!!!!! And then to top it off with a hot flash, or as I call them, personal summers, that just calls for the whole bottle of wine!

Oh, thanks for answering. You're a doll I finally located the directions to this thing and found that I should unplug it. The plug is way the heck in a cupboard that even Wilt Chamberlain wouldn't be able to reach. So I dragged my SWIVEL chair (gawd, these personal summers make you too stupid to live) and unplugged the thing while swiveling around so I could fall into the refrigerator. You, know, Carol, a bottle of wine might just be the ticket. At least when I drink and I fall and do stupid things, I had a good time doing them.

LOL! I was almost going to call the fire department because I was afraid that darned light would ignite. But then I realized I hadn't put any makeup on today and that my hair was now plastered to my head and I had a half-cooked plate of pasta and cold garlic bread sitting on the counter and I said "Nah, I'll fix this myself because I'M SO VAIN!" And so now I'm opening my fridge (which has a tiny dent of my chest in it it) and reaching for the wine bottle. I shall take my personal summer and my wine and sit outside and melt all the cell-phones from all the tourists walking by. Sometimes it's good to have super powers! Who knew hot flashes could come in so handy?

Yes, it's funny how technology has pretty much taken over. My boss always goes catatonic when our computers go down. I remind him that there are still pens and paper around the office, somewhere. He looks at me like I'm crazy. Which is okay because then I get to go home.

Oh yeah, i can't work without a computer. Seriously. I can't write unless I'm at a computer screen, I go blank if I have to hand write it out. It's weird but true.

I used to work in an office where you had to send all requests using a special form online.. ALL requests... including ones for computer repair. ("But I can't send the request because the email system is down", "but we can't get to work fixing your email until we have received the correct form by email...")

LMBO, Elana -
We used to get faxes that said "If you don't receive this fax, please call us."
Um, okay. ;D

I completely get the technical dependence. The surgery center I work at moved the entire outfit to a newer, bigger, better (yeah, right) building. I have been in technical hell ever since. The other day my badge clocked me in as my co-worker after they had 'fixed' it My computer was possessed today and I still can't get all my faxes to go through. The 'Help' desk is egregiously misnamed IMHO.

I'm actually a pre-admission nurse. I'm that annoying person that calls you on the phone and makes you go thru your whole medical history. Basically it's my job to make sure everyone gets all the necessary testing to get cleared for surgery. Before that I worked on a surgical floor in a hospital. I worked with transplant patients.
