electronics suck

Retrospective of April 1 – written April 4

My husband is a software programmer/engineer. I teach introduction to basic computer applications at the collegiate level. We should not have issues with basic electronics in our home. However, there we were, the night before our trip to India and the only things we had been dealing with was a misbehaving blackberry and a new MP3 player. Ganga’s blackberry took 5 calls to T-Mobile, 3 trips to the store, and finally the purchase of a track phone (does that sound like a Christmas carol to anyone else?). I, on the other hand, was attempting to load the final three Harry Potter audio books on to my birthday present. I figured I would need the comfort of a book (or three) that I loved. I had loaded Goblet of Fire on, but Order was presenting issues.
The result is that we spent hours dealing with electronics and barely remembered to clean out the fridge (Oh, God, I hope I started the dishwasher) and neither one of us got any sleep. Off to India!
