I'm coming to believe I'm a menace at the computer any time after, oh, I don't know, maybe 10PM. Stuff happens...weird, crazy stuff. I somehow press wrong keys, that takes me to places I don't want to be.
As a result, I'm forced to change passwords, find home pages that have mysteriously disappeared from my bookmarks list, and put up with messages that say 'this site is not longer available'...yes, it was, I was just there two minutes ago.
I'm ready to scream. Didn't I go through this just a few weeks ago? Why yes, yes I did.
I've rebuilt my bookmarks page from scratch, but can't remember what all was on it, and I know some favorites are missing. I guess I will have to wait until the next time I want to use the missing ones and add them to my new list at that time. What a bummer.
This morning it was my e-mail that gave me fits. Last night my provider told me my 'old password' had expired and I needed to set up a new one. Really? The old one worked just fine a minute ago. But, I thought, okay, it's been a couple of years since I changed the password so I suppose it is time for a new one. I went through the rig-a-ramole of setting one up and went to bed thinking all was right in my world.
I was sooo wrong. I could not get into my e-mail provider this morning to save my soul. Somehow my computer worked overtime (after I went to bed, and the computer was off) to tell me this morning my provider was now Yahoo.com. But not to worry, my address book was the same, I had one new message and to view it all I had to do was provide them with my password. OMG, Yahoo is not my e-mail provider, and I do not, I repeat, I do not have, or want a password.
Should I laugh? Should I cry? Or, should I start to pull my hair out?
I decide to laugh, what a comedy of errors. Come on! With a tremendous amount of patience...I set about clicking this, Googling that, trying to find the 'new site' and 'new password' for my regular e-mail provider I had set up last night. I finally found it, and hurriedly clicked it to my bookmarks list, and prayed for the best. It took me a while to get brave enough to close out my e-mail so I could check to see if my 'new' bookmarks list actually had my provider there. Whew...it did.
So, (with very little patience left, and my sanity pretty much gone) I think I'm back to where I want to be on the Internet again...I just wish I would no longer be inspired to work on the computer after 10PM... ...unfortunately I know that's not going to happen.
Stay tuned, folks, knowing me as well as I do things can only get worse.
