Frustrated

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks. First one of our hard drives crashed taking more than two years worth of photos with it.  (Please, don't start preaching to me about backups.) Then our main computer puked and had to be replaced. Then, just as we we're getting all that sorted out, the power went off for 12 hours.

Okay. None of that is really that big a deal. I agree. It's just been frustrating trying to catch up.

For example, today is our annual Chili Fest. We've been trying for a couple of weeks to get everything ready, to get information out, to let people know about it. Our primary communication tool is the computer. All of the documents - posters, flyers, registration forms, etc. - are on computer. Without the computer, we've been kind of hamstrung and are way late in preparations. It's just one example of how dependent we've become on this technology.

But it looks like we're back. For now. Til the next "thing" happens.
