You know what’s wrong with being computer literate and tech savvy?
All your friends need your help.
Yeah, I know, I could tell them it will cost them, but I never do. Instead, I spent nearly an hour setting up my friend’s Vonage phone router and system, making sure it worked with the cable modem and computer, instead of, oh, writing my podcast for this week.
Well, that’s okay. Margo told me already that she likes to do housework when she’s stressed. Guess who’s going to help me with my big late spring cleaning project? Quid pro quo, baby.
That’s why I bought subscriptions for my mother and my father-in-law to Ask Dr. Tech…
I know what you mean,
my friend has a similer Router/modem issue and he asked me if I can come over and take a look at. – I have yet to do so since I havn’t had the time – but I know that it’s going to be a couple of hours of work – oh well that’s what friends are for.
The thing that really kills me is that the instructions were crystal clear. All you have to do is read and follow them, and you’re done. She didn’t need my help.
‘Course, you can’t tell them that, because they don’t believe you.
I have to hand it to Vonage, though. They had really well-done instructions that had you choose a scenario and go to the page that reflected your setup. Kinda like those “Make your own adventure” books. Without the deadly conflict and treasure.
That’s why my business cards say “Will Program for Food”
I can help you clean up too Merly!!!
Fingers are all flying…I meant “Meryl”. I got excited there for a minute.
