Not Again
Nothing
lasts forever, except maybe love, and computers are no exception. I have a dubious relationship with the most
important invention of our time. I have
used up and worn out two desktops and two laptops, which isn’t something I’m
proud of. Flashback to Friday when a
virus infiltrates my computer and renders it unusable. I am in the process of the final edit on my
novel, Heart Trouble, and unsure about what to do. Luckily I finally had the sense to Google the
problem on my phone browser. After
finding a solution, I had to draw on my graduate school learning (thanks, Prof.
Miller—I should’ve paid more attention in your class) and somehow I was able to
rescue this computer, yet again, from the fire.
There’s a lesson to be learned here—next time an invader comes to me via
wi-fi, shut down the computer and go home.
By the way, I completed my edit.
T-minus four weeks until its release.
