Our rain starts tomorrow Borg
Was at the lab this morn giving blood & this kid next to me was screaming, wouldn't let the nurses get close to her arm with the needle. I got up, walked over & said I could help.
Told the kid I was scared to death of needles too, but I had a trick I learned while watching cartoons. So I told her to close her eyes & breathe in really deep a couple times. She did & I motioned to the nurse to get the needle ready.
Told her to take another deep breath, nurse went to insert the needle. I told her exhale slowly, she did but felt the nurse touch her arm so she looked over like I thought she might. I put my hand on her cheek, turned her head my way & made the goofiest face I could. She started laughing and just like that the needle was in & she just felt a "little pinch."
Her Mom thanked me & said she would try that next time. I said you'll have to mix it up a bit & be creative since she kind of knows whats coming but just use your imagination.
Morning afternoon all.
Cool with overcast. Luckily no rain.
Went on a call last night, people save their issues until their machines are on their knees, then they call. You arrive and they want you to explain in detail what you are doing, eventually their eyes glaze over.
Morning Ken.
Yeah, a lot of work could be saved with regular backups. I tell this to people all the time, go out, get a external HDD & do a backup at least once a month if not more frequently.
Nothing I love more then when I go to fix someones machine & it's gotten to the point there's no desktop, nothing, just a blinking cursor.
Afternoon kado.
I hope we get a break also, my Wife's not digging the weather much right now.
