Mindless Monday Morning! DUH, What Was I Thinking?

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Properties

July 15, 2012 08:43 PM

Tech Overload? Perhaps I need a break! I was working on a number of projects this weekend with my mind going in way too many directions! Late to bed last night and my mind refused to slow down. I dreamed, not of sugar plums, but of links, buttons, iPhones, iPads and touch screens.

DUH, what was I thinking? I found myself wanting to use my lap top like an iPhone touching the screen when I needed a little larger view. DUH! This was not a dream I really tried to do it. I know, call me insane, but please don't send me away from ActiveRain as I really like it here.

Waking really early this Monday morning, I reached over for my iPhone to check my email messages. At the same time I was trying to find my favorite early morning FOX news channel! Easy enough you say? Not for me this morning! Trying to read my email on my television screen (while possible, mine is not set up) and finding my FOX station on my iPhone was a bit much!

Perhaps I should have gone back to sleep or at least not tried to multi-task this early in the morning! Oh well, I am awake now and ready for the day. Amazing what a strong cup of coffee will do.

I am now in ActiveRain ready to push out this Monday morning mindless post! Sorry guys, but sometimes the overload button clicks on and all the tech bells and whistles gets to be a jumble in the toolbox of my mind!

BTW - Just so so you know, I am ditching this early Mindless Monday Morning mode and switching to my Marvelous Monday All Day Mode! Happy Monday!

Debbie - what ever happened to thos sweet sweet dreams? Visions of tech stuff horning in on the good stuff!

Gita - thanks. My Monday is already shaping up now that I have had my coffee and have found my stride!

Anita - Actually I love Mondays as it is the start of a new week with new opportunities.

Pat - yes, thank goodness the coffee kicked in!

Bobbie - Peanut butter in the fridge? Next time I have trouble finding mine I will look in the fridge as it could happen to me as I eat a tablespoon of the stuff every day for protein.

Barbara - Mondays are the wild and crazy day and t helps to have a positive attitude.

I think we are all tied to our techy stuff, Barbara. When I want my screen bigger, I just hit ctl +, it's easier than reaching for the monitor on the laptop. I hope you have a wonderful Monday.

Toni - you are so right, hitting the control + is a heck of a lot easier than reaching for the monitor thinking it is a touch screen. Enjoy your Monday, hope it is fabulous!

Hello Barbara,

What a change from yesterday! Could it be something you ate? :,)

I hope the little bit of stuff I send you from time to time brings a smile to your face. I try to help when I can. LOL

I have been there took me nearly a half hour to get me fingers working on the right keys this morning.

I hate it when that happens. I hope you can get back to Marvelous Monday All Day Mode!

And enjoy your Mondays again.

Best, Clint McKie
