Computers

So. I haven't written anything in a long time. Actually I have but it's been on private not public for awhile - lots of blogging gone journalling for me lately. Basically to put you all up to date - I have been praying and admining every day for the past month. It's been a good season but full of things to accomplish that hasn't left much room for blogging. I did get a great weekend with Michelle, my sister in a couple of weekends ago and that was amazing fun time for both of us.

Today however, I sat in a chair for 4 hours waiting to get my taxes done. (no fun by the way)
I sat and sat and sat - luckily had a book and my cell phone - but mostly I just sat. Then, when it was my turn (finally) to go to the tax-man, as soon as he began to type my name in the computer experienced some major techincal difficulties. (Resolving me to sit some more.)
Which brings me to another topic - computers and the prayer movement... I was sitting at lunch the other day and discussing with several other prayer missionaries about the nearly crazy amount of computer problems that tie into the prayer movement. They seem to happen, without warning, as soon as any of us at zhop start to do any random admin on the computer.
It also seems as though any time I have a deadline and I think, oh, this should be easy. I should know by now that easy doesn't exist in this context. Typically, what I experience is that I go to type and something crazy happens and shuts whatever computer I am using down.
Example: Yesterday a couple of prayer missionaries went to kinko's to simply print some nametags off. Easy right? Kinko's has their business down and everything should be simple. NO. As soon as they walked in the door the Kinko's dude announced that for some reason all of their copiers and machines were down and not able to print.
Example 2: Tax-man today. Something that should have taken a total of 30 minutes took about 2 hours due to techincal difficulties.
I have more but I shall spare you....

I think that there is something going on here.

Let me know if you actually read this. I wonder if anyone checks this blog anymore due to my inconsistency lately.
