I did a few things wrong today and blamed my computer for it. When I woke up and turned my laptop on, after 5 minutes it had still not come completely on. It was being real weird and slow like a bad dream sequence. \u00a0It does that sometimes, so I went into the office to check email. \u00a0About 30 minutes into it, I dropped my mouse, causing my cable box to fall from its perch. \u00a0 When I picked it up, I noticed the mouse cable (yes, I still have cables, I’m old school) was tangled, so I unplugged it, untangled the cord, and plugged it in again. \u00a0 My monitor had gone to screensaver and I couldn’t get it back, so I shut the machine down manually. \u00a0 When I turned it back on, I could not get an internet connection. \u00a0 I went back into my bedroom and checked my laptop and could not connect there either. \u00a0 Phooey. \u00a0I figured it had to do with me shutting the computer down manually. \u00a0 I went back into the office and, as I began a series of rebooting my computer, I took the opportunity to move my desk around a little; moving routers and boxes, dusting behind cables, tightening cable and power connections. \u00a0Connections. \u00a0The power to the cable box had begun dislodged when it toppled an hour earlier. \u00a0That was why I had no internet connection. \u00a0I hadn’t noticed the cord had come loose. \u00a0Here I was so ready to blame my computer when I was trying to work from a place of disconnection. Yes, I was doing all the right keystrokes but the right things weren’t happening. \u00a0Connection — no surprise there — is once again the answer to everything<\/p>\n
