Two Steps Forward, One Back


Did you ever look forward to some new technology, some new gadget that was going to make your life or your work just outstanding? You look forward to it and when it occurs there are snags, a learning curve, some trial and error...at the end of several hours that "you KNOW will benefit you in the long run" you can't help feeling---I'm worse off than I was before I started! Something new has that effect on us, we are forced away from our comfort zone and want to rebel.


We had such a day here yesterday. The dust has settled, the situation has calmed and all can reflect on all the positives, all the benefits that we will soon reap from this technological change in our lives. Now that is not to say that the learning curve has been conquered or that the hours of frustration have ended...it just means that we, or more aptly ME are not wrapped up in the "several hours" of frustration right now---the situation can be looked at objectively and appreciated for what it will be. In other words I'm out of here in a couple of hours! Me and my laptop plan on having a very productive day at Panera Bread while the IT people play!
