    Random Thread

    The most popular thread on my family website is our "Random Thread" where you just share any random thing you like or that happened recently. I don't recall Bogley having had one, so I figured I would start one here.

    Here is my random story I wanted to share:

    I get a call from a single elderly lady in my neighborhood / ward. She tells me that she knows my Dad is good with computers and is wondering if any of his skill rubbed off on me. I told her "a little". I agreed to go help her with her problem. She rotated her computer clockwise and couldn't figure out how to un-rotate it.

    This is the some what awkward conversation we had:

    Woman I am helping: Wow! You seem like you are really great with computers.
    Me: I'm okay with them. (I say because I am already very busy and don't want to become her free IT guy)
    Woman I am helping: What do you do for a living?
    Me:<awkward pause> I work with computers.

    It was pretty uncomfortable.

    I hope this was done over the phone at least. If you did this in person, you were probably there for a while.

    Isn't this what Twitter is for?
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    Sadly it was in person. I told her it was going to be "CTRL + Shift+ Up" or "CTRL + Alt + Up" but she couldn't figure it out. So I did it in person.

    She knew what you were talking about, but wanted you to come over in person....and you bit Hook + Line + Sinker.

    I just heard a girl I work with (but don't yet really know) say that she just got engaged last night, one week after starting to date someone. That is crazy to me.

    Geez, you sound like the secretaries that congregate around the water cooler to cluck about the latest office gossip.

    I went to an Appple Store today for the first time. I really was impressed by their service. It was certainly the best service I have ever received in a retail store.
