This has been an awful week. AWWWful with a big ol' capital A. I think that sometimes always usually, I get curve balls thrown at me and I can't seem to hit any because I am still back here on the plate expecting a straight throw. What is wrong with me! This week, I have been bitten by the technology curse...
Let me start by saying that I know that my problems are not anywhere near to what some people face on a daily basis. I totally get that. But right now, in this moment, I am venting!
If any of you know what I do for a living you know that my work laptop and work cell phone are the only way that I get work done. Well last week my laptop broke. I sent it off to get it fixed by our IT department at work and I finally (thank goodness) got it back on monday. I was doin' the happy dance!
Well, Tuesday came and I realized that a lot of stuff that was on my laptop before is now gone. A LOT. Two years worth of stuff. And no I am not talking about all that stuff you can "back up" or whatever...I mean like all my saved "favorites", my printers to every single clinic I go too (that is a lot of printers folks!), and other little stuff like my VZ access for my wireless card, and my scanner, and my personal printer. It is all gone. And I hate knowing that I have to reinstall every single thing. Ughhhh is how I feel. I guess what really irks me about it all was that my PC was not toast. It only had issues with Microsoft Office Suite. How is it that the IT department says they need to reinstall office, and somehow they reinstall me to an entirely different windows software?
So on top of that.... yesterday my brand spankin new work blackberry froze. and crashed. and will not unfreeze. so I spend all of last week without a laptop only to get it back and the other half of me gets broken. I can't make calls. I can't receive calls. I can't do anything on it. Again, so frustrating.
Luckily though a new one should arrive within 5 business days. JOY. There is my JOY!
I promised myself that my last year in my 20's was going to be something to remember. I pomised to live everyday with JOY and really live out this year. Well somebody better put some gas in my tank because I am crawling to a start...
Today I find JOY in knowing that I love my job no matter how inconvenient technology may make it. Today I find JOY in knowing that I saved a patient's insurance from terminating. He needs that coverage and I did it. Today I find JOY in being able to confide in a friend.
Today, I choose Joy!
Lord, make me a joyful witness to those around me so that I can reflect Your glory.
