Activities
So yesterday Hayley was giggling reading something that Sky had written. I don't see it anywhere so I don't think I am doing this right. Here is my dilemma. I was at work til 7pm trying to figure out computer things that just wouldn't go my way. I accidentally hit 7 instead of 9 when taking messages at work so I deleted one. I hope it wasn't important. The printer jammed so I had to address an envelope by hand(gasp!) My boss was also going to show me how to print a cover page for faxing but had to leave so, gasp again, I wrote it by hand. My scanner grabbed a handful of papers so I cancelled it but could not start again cuz it said I already had something in the way. I called American Family tech support but, because it wasn't their machine she was stumped. I called HP, whose machine it was and he didn't know what to do either but it all of a sudden started working and neither of us knew why but I called it good. I have to get up at 6am tomorrow so I tried to set my new alarm clock. That took 15 minutes. Now I am sitting at my computer at home and flashing in my eyes is the new phone we have that says there is a voice mail on it but when I push the button to listen it says there isn't one. I have three other boxes with flashing lights on them sitting on this desk and I have no idea what they do or what they are called. When did this all happen? It feels like drowning sometimes. It is also very lonely to feel like no one else feels like this. I am glad that there are such things and gadgets when they work to help me stay in touch with all of you. My next post I will not complain at all, I promise. Today was just frustrating. I love you all. xoxjonni

I am so sorry you had a bad day. And believe me I know computers are frustrating. Used to be I just took a chest x-ray and developed it. Now, I have to log the pt. out of the ER on one computer, scan the cassettes on another, see if the pt. had prior exams on another, process the cassette on another, track the pt. on another, look at the images on another and then log the pt. back into ER. I would just like to take an x-ray. And that is if it all goes as planned!!!!
Sorry, I know you were frustrated but you made me laugh.
Why did you have to get up at 6am?
Jonni - hang in there...I am sorry that I keep missing you. I wish that I was there to help you...love you...Jill
okay mom. it has just become my life mission to make cheat sheets for you to make sure that everything will work. when i do something on the computer, i will make sure that i write it down for you so that you will know what to do. but for now...know that you are actually NOT the only one, and the only reason why any of us knows what to do is half trial and error and half luck. you've already come so far, and with your new job you will go even further (or is it farther?). at least you know how to text message should anything go terribly wrong, right? you're movin' up!

oh, and p.s. sky's thing is a comment under trevor's pictures. all you have to do is click on the place where it says how many comments are under the picture (like yours says 3 comments before i post this one). then you can see it! just so you know...cheat sheet entry #1!
I wouldn't have a clue as to how to text message. We did get a charge for two on our phone last year. I called and said 'can you do that accidentally?'. They said no. I said we don't know how to do that and they said maybe some texted us. I said take that feature off. We don't know how to do it and don't want it.
So, Jonni, you are ahead of us.
Yes, finding stuff for me is mostly trial and error and a lot of error.
Right now I am trying to email my pictures to Walgreens, but can't figure it out. I will have to wait until Sky and Allyson come this weekend
Yea, I get to see the girls!!!!
Love,
julie
Fred's son Frederick was going to show him how to send text messages and I told him not to! He has a hard enough time just figuring out if someone left a voicemail or sent him and email on his Blackberry! Plus the cost of texting too! Frederick said you could get unlimited texting, but I told him we don't have that and we have to pay when someone sends us a text.
Someone figured o ut how to change the name of this one. First it just had part of the first sentence. So there must be a way to change titles.
I am so happy we are using this and adding comments.
Thanks to all,
julie
But do you all have to do a word verification when you add a comment? It doesn't seem like you should have to do it each time.
