Last night I had all sorts of technical problems. I couldn't get my bank account to come up online - couldn't even get google........couldn't get my FB. Couldn't post here.
And couldn't figure out what happened.

Well after running scans - avast, malwarebytes, TDSSKiller, etc and so on - I found that my calendar date had stuck on May 2014 after I had looked something up - and it effected the whole damned computer!

What a lark. Keep this stuff up and I'm going to end up techie not even trying to be one. LMAO.

    Well, you know what they say....... If you want something done RIGHT..... YOU probably know more than most "TECHIES"! That isn't even saying you know all that much!

      I have one word for anyone who calls themself a "techie" if they DON'T know more than I do...........Fraud.

      I know megabytes more than I did when I first turned on the machine...........but it's not enough for anyone that has any sanity to think of me as a techie. That one isn't gonna happen in my lifetime. Not sorry either. I just have chosen not to learn it. Don't have time now for the info absorption that I need to do for my real areas of expertise. Kinda like Kelly Bundy - too many more ideas and I'll start knocking the old ones out of my head. I'm so narrow minded that I already have to store the ideas and info I do have vertically!

        HEY, YOU said it, I didn't! My replacement at my current job is such a person. I wonder how long he'll last. I always wonder what I should do in such a case. My workload has increased 3 fold. SO FAR, he has admitted to a lot of stuff he does NOT know. The only thing he has claimed he DOES know is EARLY SQL.

      Nope, not technical - spelling. Just spelling. How to spell "problems" was one of the ideas that having to think about all that damned technology pushed out my ear. I found it and pushed it back in -- now I can't remember how I figured out it was my calendar causing the problems. That's okay - I'll probably need that word again writing this darned ebook, so I'll keep it and worry about tech crap some other day. .
