I am now absolutely certain that yesterday was the beginning of my own personal techpocalypse. And yes, of course I made up that word, but I’m pretty sure you can surmise it’s meaning…
A complete system failure; I’m talking across the board, a complete and epic failure of pretty much every piece of technology I came in contact with in one day. My computer has decided it’s done. It took me over an hour to do what normally takes about 20 minutes. I’m going to attempt to get it to limp along for another month or so, but I’m pretty sure it has other plans. My iPhone received a text first thing in the morning and when I opened it the phone started vibrating and making this growling/buzzing noise. Probably not a good sign when your iPhone growls. I’ve had Siri get bitchy with me, but the actual phone has never talked back before. I had to shut it down to make it stop.
I arrive at school for the first day inservice meetings and I have no computer in my room. Of course my first thought is to call the tech coordinator. Um, no phone either. Literally. No. phone. Next up, faculty meeting in the computer lab to review our test data. I log on to my account and I’m registered under the elementary building, in light of the fact I’m a middle school teacher, I couldn’t access any of the data I needed. In between all of this I’m trying to get my phone to work, but every time I opened an app it would immediately crash. When I got home I turned on my computer and it would get as far as loading my wallpaper, but no icons. After turning it off and on a half dozen times and a number of swear words that I didn’t even know that I knew, it fired back up. Finally, my son called me. On my husbands phone. Apparently mine just rings indefinitely, but it’s not actually connecting. So guess where I most likely am as you’re reading this? Losing 3 hours of my life I’ll never get back at the AT&T store. Makes a girl miss the days when the biggest technology problem you had was that the phone cord wasn’t long enough to reach the closet so you could talk in privacy.
Since it was rather cool outside yesterday and Summer is, for the most part, on it’s last leg, I went with a pre-Fall look. Pre-Fall meaning a long plaid shirt with deeper colors, burgundy cami, and boyfriend jeans in place of shorts. Lately I’ve been loving floaty camis, both as layering pieces and on their own. A lightweight cami is one of those clothing pieces that can carry you throughout the seasons because they are the perfect layering piece; you can either throw something over top, or wear a tee or turtleneck underneath and the cami itself doesn’t add any bulk. They are quickly becoming one of the staple pieces in my closet.
