Julia has this fascination with watching my fingers fly over a keyboard; her saying something about it being akin to watching a master at work. And… Maybe she’s got a point there. But she was a huge help to me today, getting both our machines reset and updated to Windows 11 2022 H2. She’s actually been pretty aggressive about learning how to do this stuff, doing quite a bit of research on her own.
She actually said at one point, “Most people wouldn’t have the problems they do if they just learned how to read from the factory website.” And… You know? “She is right!”
She then continued on with, “I don’t get people, even many of the one’s who call you. It’s like they want to self-destruct and play the victim all the time. They won’t read what’s on screen, even for you and expect everything to go their way, and they don’t even have the first clue as to whether or not the thing they want is even possible.”
As we walked back in the bedroom to call it a night, she kissed me lightly after climbing into bed and said, “I can see why you get stressed out at times. It’s not fair the way some of the people closest to you have treated you and your expertise over the years. It’s not right.”
“It is what it is,” I replied.
Julia answered, “Maybe. But that doesn’t make it right.” And… With that, “We both fell asleep.”
