my last blog posting...sigh!!!

Wow!! I cannot believe I have done 12 of these blog postings already and have pretty much had something to say each time. I am not sure if you, my captivated audience  thought I did, but I enjoyed it! Daily I am reminded of just how fortunate I am to be alive during this time. The ease with which we enjoy life because of man's advances in the world of technology makes me smile. Everyday I partake of the luxury of hot water and clean clothes, every morning at work I brew coffee in less than five minutes and drink it from a cup designed to keep the liquid warm. Every afternoon at lunch I throw my frozen meal in the microwave and cook it in less than three minutes. Every evening when I drive home in my car and raise my garage door with a remote control, I truly realize just how fortunate and blessed I am. Not only those things come to mind, but so many more. My cell phone - what did I do without it? My dishwasher, a little piece of Heaven on earth and my whirlpool tub, well there are not words enough to describe my love of that tub. What a luxury! Man is brillant!!! We have come so far in the last 50 years and that begs the question where will the next 50 take us? I, personally, am excited and thrilled to see what we can creatures can create next and just how far we can go. This class has been stressful for me, but I am glad I am here. It made me stop and learn new things and it also made me think about different things. The last couple of months have definitly been a journey on the technology train. My stop in sight! Even though the rides been good, I am ready to get off.

Technology at work again

So I realized this past week at work that I am getting ripped off and have been getting ripped off for some time now. At work those of us who are not as " important" as others, were given dummy computers ( they look straight out the 80's, they are enormous) and we have capio harddrives. Which may not mean anything to you out there in vicland as Mary Alice likes to say. Regardless of that I was under the impression they were not too bad. Yeah they are slower than other computers at work and you are pretty limited in what you can and cannot do on them, but I still thought they were okay. Well this week wrought a lot of changes at my place of employment. Those of us who work in medical records got cubicles, while they were constructing them I had to work at another station. This station was an actual PC. It had a flat screen monitor, a silent keyboard and moved speedily through each task I assigned it. I was in Heaven, I mean I really thought I had hit the big time. Today though it was back to life, back to reality and back to my computer. I was severely disappointed that I could not take the other with me. But good news for those of you who are worried, I will be getting a PC and shortly it seems. I am very excited about that and cannot wait to have one full time.
