House Cleaners and Computers don’t Mix!

Back in the old days when I was a computer support guy, I used to advise people to always protect their systems with a full on-line UPS “in case, for example, the cleaners knock the power plug out or use it to power their vacuum cleaner”. Well guess what? Today the cleaners came to the house I am currently house-sitting and began cleaning around my workstation, where I was busy in the middle of some important work on the computer. POW! - the screen goes blank…..they knocked the power plug out of the wall and everything on the power strip went out.

Steve - you need to take some of your own medicine, methinks! - ha! ha!

Why don’t they show HISTORY programs on the History Channel?

Alaskan Ice-Road Truckers?   Tougher being gay in Alaska?  Dirty Crappy Jobs?  Houses for $300?

Puhleeze. What a waste of time. Can I get some of my Dish Network fee back?
