OK, back in business… Had a little problem with the website; that’s not all it was. Sure, writing all this shit, you probably think I’ll never shut up. Well, there are some days where I don’t feel like pursuing my passion of writing; this typically only lasts a few days. Then, when I was ready to write, I couldn’t. There was a recent upgrade that I had to install and it didn’t agree with something I have setup, so… I was down and out. Then, got busy at work, so couldn’t get to it, until finally, I chatted up somebody from the hosting service (who I couldn’t recall initially) and they fixed me. Like I said, back in business…
Being a problem solver is a good quality to have. I normally don’t like dealing with chat bots, etc, but… when I finally got through to someone, an actual person, they were able to help me via chat; no need to jump on the phone, sit on hold… I dread that shit. I like the whole face to face interaction; I know that’s not as common nowadays in our post-covid world. Next best is actually talking to someone, like a real live person, that maybe can be understood and understand you. I guess working this chat route was pretty good this time around; kudos! I wonder how much they get paid. Do they just respond to chat requests from multiple companies? I’m guessing that’s how it works. These companies outsource that “help” function; saves a bunch of dough I’m sure. Anyways, it was nice to have a pleasant experience in the customer service side of the world; that feels like a lost art.
You know how this works now. I’ll start to catch up, with some filler material, until I get back to live stuff I could talk about; I wonder if there was anything going on recently… hmmm… Yes, I’ll fire out a bunch of stuff off the top of my head, and we’ll get current; it usually doesn’t take too long, maybe a day or two, and today, is day one. But yes, problem solving… I’m good at helping my son solve his math problems, but how good am I with real life problems? I don’t know sometimes. I feel like this year I’ve been given a test that I’m still struggling with; yeah, real life shit that sucks. How many times am I going to say shit in this post?
Anyways, the 13th of November was/is a day I remember in my life; it was my uncle/godfather’s birthday. What, it’s been almost 2 years since he’s been gone? Well, today I hope he’s up there having a smoke and a beer, kicking back with no shirt on and a baseball cap, enjoying the day with all the family that’s up there with him. This is how I’d like to remember him, a picture of our family trips up to Michigan when I was a kid… a simpler time no doubt. How many lifetimes can you experience in one life? Hopefully like a cat, close to nine…
