Technology and me are not the best of friends!! This is a truth, a fact, a statement – whatever.
I go round the bend when things aren’t working – like today.
I posted my Day 6 Blog and eventually on the 3rd occasion it actually showed the link to my website that worked!! BUT no picture or the few introductory lines it had done the day before. So sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t – just great.
This blog is now going to be called Crazy Making.
Let me ask you –
What makes you crazy? Drives you up the wall? Pushes the button marked ‘Swear Words’? Makes you wants to Scream or Kick ‘it’ or Throw it away (‘it’ could stand for anything you want – just insert what’s appropriate for you) – Makes you Frustrated? – Or to have a glass of wine (in my case, tea) to calm down the energy that’s brought up … I could go on and on again.
This is when I get out of control or exhausted or don’t want to use it – I become a victim of Technology.
How I deal with it:
- I try all the things I can think of (remember that word ‘I’)
- I ask for help from those more qualified in technology
- I attempt to understand what is being suggested
- If I don’t – I go back to the ‘go round the bend again’ or
- I go in the garden
- I take a walk
- I get away from the ‘bloody’ machine
- I make my cup of tea
- I do anything else that even doesn’t actually need to be done that gets the benefit of my energy
- I say to myself that I’m doing a good enough job
- I even do my deep breathing, go inside and ask for help
- If I do – I’m like a free child and get so excited and pleased that I can do anything in life you want me to do (don’t ask me!)
I am now off for my cup of tea.
Leave your comments and let me know what drives you up the wall!
How long do I have Irene? Technology winds me up sometimes but most often I see it as a challenge. My complete failures like making pastry or edible gluten free bread I just walk away from. So it has to be something about which I care that it’s not working correctly and know I have to conquer – that generally is my own incompetence!
Hi Judy, I was really like a mad woman yesterday – awful! Yes you understand why. I’m loving your blogs by the way when I actually get the time to read them properly when I’m not swearing. xx
