Ok, so you know those days when you really don’t think that you should have gotten out of bed? Yes, well…today is one of those days. Instead of coming into work I should have stayed curled up in bed with a good book (like Harry Potter) and stayed there all day. Yep, that would have been the best option. But being the oh-so-responsible person that I am (and because I cant see into the future…although that would be nice.) I came into work, where our phone system is going on the blitz (and taking our internet with it) so its not even noon yet and I have been on the phone with our phone provider four times today and it probably would have been more if we could actually use our phones. It is amazing how complicated these stupid phones are! I was on the phone with Brian from the Phone Company (the second time) and this is what our conversation basically went like…
Brian “Ok so there should be a box about 4 inches by 4 inches and about ½ an inch thick, with a bunch of wires coming out. Do you see it?”
Alisha “Ummmm. There are two boxes about that size with lots of wires, which one do you want, the grayish brown one or the silver one?”
Brian “The silver one”
Alisha “Ok”
Brian “Now do you see the wires attached to the end?”
Alisha “Yes”
Brian “I need you to remove the Optical Data Wire and place it in the dock that is labeled UB7”
Alisha “Optical Data Wire?”
Brian “Yes”
Alisha…..confused silence……”What color is this wire?”
So I should have stayed in bed. (and pulled a Faris Bueller… cough cough I cant come in today cough I’m sick cough cough cough.) And then I wouldn’t have had to feel so stupid… I hate when technology is smarter than I am.
