ARCHIVES - 1996 to FOREVER

I was trying to get my PDA to sync with my computer, and I was flipping the comm switch... I thought. Too lazy to get the magnifying glass out, dammit.

So I flipped the reset switch instead.

Got rid of everything in volatile memory.

All of my contacts.

And yeah, for some reason or another, I had, once again, put all of my eggs in one basket and then I burned it behind me.

I haven't done a "recent" backup (like in two years) because... well, I just didn't.

However, a coupla months ago, I did back up my outlook contacts onto my phone.

So right now, I'm trying to get my phone to work on the computer that I have outlook on... but it's not working. I can get it to work on the laptop... but it's not working either.

Just as I said that, I decided to try the laptop again... and it worked!

Unfortunately, the battery on the phone died... so I'm still in the same place.

But there is hope, there is hope....

Today was another learning day at work. And I learned something new about computers... when your hand is on the mouse and there are many people watching your every move, your IQ is cut exactly in half. The trained said 20%, but he was dead wrong.

Learning this new machine is a blast... kinda.

Although the principles are all the same, there are vastly different steps that need to be completed....

And computers are picky, picky, picky about that. Gotta do the steps. And the steps are all vastly logical, of course, especially if you're a computer. Mere humans can only grasp the edges of the logic with their crumbly fingernails and hang on for dear life.

And it's all so very much fun!

But for the next few weeks, the focus will be upon the technology more than the patient, and we need to be very careful about that, of course.

And again, not enough sleep last night... I plan on getting really rested up this weekend, though.

I did get to talk to Tyler tonight... he's doing about the same, went to the neurologist and was told to wait it out... not a really easy task with a constant headache at a four on the scale of ten. He did get some medication, though, but it'll take a week for it to work. I forgot to ask Tyler what the medication was so that I could look it up.

And the neurologist didn't recommend any further testing as I had hoped that he would... just wait it out.
