Ihad the blond moment to beat all blond moments. You ready?

I feel that I am tech savoy in some ways.  I can figure things out on Mac and PC’s that some people can’t.  I know way more then my boss, even though he pretends he knows more or thinks he does.  I like to pick things apart on a computer and figure them out for myself.

So eventually I learn things and are able to get things done quickly and cleanly.  And how to get something done that others don’t know how to do.

That being said I had a blond moment with my new little netbook.  I was going to go video chat with N (used to be F#2) in TX.  But for some reason my wireless would not pick up my modem.  I tried uninstalling the modem, reinstalling it.  Unplugging it and what not. 

I checked IP addresses, firewalls, made sure that I didn’t accidently set up a password or do something else stupid. Then I check my netbook and tried to get it all configured. 

Nothing worked.  I was pissed.  I couldn’t figure it out at all.  I checked my Air Port on my Mac and it could connect to the wireless connection but my netbook couldn’t.

So about 8 or so I gave up and stomped into the living room and watched Star Trek with Hubby. 

Today when I got to work I decided to call tech support and figure out what happened.  Did I click on something I shouldn’t have (which I have totally done too many times to count)?  Is my computer faulty?  Do I need to do an exchange? 

So I was talking to this foreign guy, who I could barely understand him, and he calmly asked me if the light in the front of the computer was amber or blue.  I said amber.  He told me to flip the switch and it should turn it back on. 

I felt SO dumb!!  How could I have missed the wireless symbol on the thing?  How could I have looked over that feature in the manual that I skimmed it last night?

So when I called Hubby to let him know, he laughed.  A lot!  I don’t blame him, but that much?

I told him ‘I admit it. I’m a blond.  I had a really really really bad blond moment.’

And he continues to laugh and says ‘It’s okay because you are a cute blond.’

Yeah, that makes me feel even better…

And here is a little something for all you Christmas music lovers.  This is a song I played a week ago in the church orchestra.  Mind you this is not us, but it is awesome anyway. Also, it is quiet in the beginning, so be patient.  Enjoy!!
