I have been thinking as I've been reading your stories about the sudden change in transitioning from work to home. Some people don't like change in their schedule. Are you getting use to your new way of working?

I feel your pain. I was told I had to work from home in mid-March. I was told to take my computer home and work from there. This piece of shit didn't even have a battery. Then I couldn't get online. I had to call IT, did you know some laptops have switches on the side to allow you to access wifi, I didn't. Good luck in the contest.

Ha, ha, ha you are funny. My PC was showing a picture that only I could've see it. I hat to take a picture with my phone and to send it to it, so I can convince them that is real:) Let's congratulate ourselves that we learnt so much about computes due to the pandemic.
Comment from Melodie Michelle
Overall very different and interesting;-)
The end was quite different but that's okay you made it work!
Good job! Maybe a touch of tweaking all throughout again would suffice;-)
Thank you for sharing;-)
Blessings;-)

Oh my. I'm sorry you had difficulties while trying to work from home. Technology can definitely be difficult sometimes. Also, I love your profile picture, very lovely.

Thank you so much for the review and the compliment on my picture... that was the day when I adopted my little Pisa, that now is in heaven. That was the best day of my life.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was so funny, but not funny! LOL. It wasn't funny that you had to use your laptop to do their work, but they wouldn't repair it for you! That was just awful. I'm glad you got to borrow one in the end, even though it took a lot of moaning to get one. They should let you keep it! It was funny how you wrote it, though. I enjoyed reading your story, sorry to hear you are losing your sight, that's a bummer. Goo luck in the contest, Iza. :)) Sandra xx
