BROKEN HOME.
External link:

In the past week, my air conditioner has broken, my TiVo has stopped recognizing my network adapter and can't get new program information, My caller ID box has stopped working, I can't get my spare computer to connect to the Internet, that back computer has been flooded with spyware that my spyware detecting software isn't finding, I just bought a CD player from the Sharper Image yesterday that won't turn on, my Internet connection on my primary computer has suddenly gotten incredibly slow, and I can't get Photoshop to print anything.

I don't know, maybe that's normal? I'm always hearing technophobes say how nothing ever works for them, and I always believe them, that the problem is them and not the technology. Indeed, practically all these things can be repaired, but I don't know how to repair any of them. And I can fix some things that are easier to fix, enough to the point where things usually work for me, and that's probably why I'm technofile instead of a technophobe. And when nothing will work, all at once, it's very easy for me to turn inward and think the problem must be me. But it's not me; that's crazy. I'm still the same person I was a week ago, and I'm going to fix every single one of these problems or have them fixed by somebody else.
