Spring Is In The Air...Eggs Are On The Lawn

Spring is in the air, the sun is shining. Easter is early this year and the eggs are on the lawn, the chocolate bunnies are in the frig. My spring cleaning is done. Life is beautiful!

   UGH! Computer crash!  My Easter Bunny

Horrible words for a virtual assistant or for anyone who uses computers for their business, which is almost everyone these days.

The mother-board is dead! I want to hit something! No, wait!  Help is on the way. Actually, in this case it was good forward thinking. I  had my laptop on hand which had been synchronized to my desktop,  my  backups were current, my virtual assistants were there to lend a helping hand! So while things were not great, everything was handled  and my clients never knew there was a problem!

So, while doing your spring cleaning and spring planning for the busy days ahead, add a computer checkup to your list and put your backup systems in place so that your clients will never know there was a problem.

To end on a  light note, here are some fun Easter Facts:

>Over 90 million chocolate bunnies will be consumed
>95% of chocolate bunnies are eaten ears first, the remainder are eaten feet first
>16 billion jelly beans will be eaten on Easter
>700 million Peeps bunnies and chicks will be consumed this Easter

Pamela - You are right, we always need to keep our back ups current, I am not as good at that as I should be. Have a great Easter.

That was a really good reminder and couldn't have come at a better time.  When people are caught up in the "Spring Cleaning" of their homes and offices, this is the perfect time to do some computer spring cleaning as well.
