Feeling good and preparing to get back into this blog sharing recently, I called into the library to look over my accounts and check my mail. I have actually had a new laptop and so in theory I can work now from anywhere, that is exciting, my old laptop had stopped charging properly and so I could only work plugged in. Now I have a lovely new thing, perfect for all my needs, it even has a pen so I can make notes on screen, yey, its so exciting.
However the last time I tried to access my email connected with this blog from home, I got into a mess of cyber security, as I hadn’t accessed it from there before and it treated me like a hacker, ha. This time I was not going to get caught out, I went to the library and entered my details, believing it would be a quick visit, how wrong I was.
An hour later as my P.C was about to time out, I still had gotten nowhere. I had entered so many account details and passwords, it was a farce.
How is it that the modern world, so reliant on tech can suddenly become so frustrating?
My data runs slowly in there, so waiting for emails to hit my inbox was painful. I couldn’t remember if my account was wordpress.com or.org. I didn’t recognise the format of the login pages. Then I kept doubting my memory of my password. I entered every version I could think of on each of the log in pages, to no avail. Ggggrrrr!
I am sure I appreciate the security of my accounts but in that moment I really felt it was overkill. I don’t sign in regularly to my daily email, does any one anymore? It’s in my phone and automatic, making it all even harder.
Well suddenly I realised my P.C was timing out, that’s an hour gone, wasted, no progress made, I realised the time, 5.30pm, my gym class was starting, I was late, I am never late aaargh!
My hair a little torn out I gave up and dashed off to exercise, feeling inside like I had undergone some mind bending ordeal, had I been abducted by aliens? The modern world is great until its not. Sometimes the simplicity of life past seems more desirable. Befuddled and annoyed I managed to vent in the gym, vowing to succeed next time.
As you can see I finally did!
Here’s to remembering all our accounts and passwords and never getting locked out.
