Cascading Snafus

Reblogger Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS
Real Estate Agent with Fathom Realty Washington LLC

Our friend Lauren Williams, CPO is not a victim. When I read her blog posts, I see possibilities and someone who is not afraid to work outside the box (A person not afraid to ask for help or accept new ideas). 
Please go to the original post and give Lauren some positive feedback...

Original content by Lauren Williams, CPO

From the web: "A cascading failure is a failure in a system of interconnected parts in which the failure of a part can trigger the failure of successive parts. Such a failure may happen in many types of systems, including power transmission, computer networking, finance and bridges. Cascading failures usually begin when one part of the system fails."
 
Not dramatic enough. Cascading snafus is much more satisfying terminology. My computer's embedded webcam is bust. Bought something on eBay which proved incompatible with my system. Thanks to an AWESOME acquaintance, who'd probably never forgive me if I name her, I now have a functional webcam. I have a back-up on order after my superbly-tech-savvy bloodhound-on-the-scent super-shopper 15-year-old son found me a back-up - not due until April 10 at minimum. I'm pulling together a makeshift green screen with green Science Fair posterboard, green bed sheets, tape and balsa wood because Zoom refuses to admit it can get along without one. Poor folk at Home Depot are so overwhelmed even a pick-up order of balsa wood is now several hours late. Go to put together my photography backdrop stand - which I use to hold my banner at home remodeling shows - and now it's bust. So off to Amazon again. But at least the replacement comes with a real green screen - not till April 22!
 
Virtual will be a reality. Along with much cursing, wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Hi Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS - sounds normal although that is what the acronym means.  We all have some of it.

Lauren Williams, CPO writes great posts, especially about her speciality. We can all commiserate with her present snafus-some days/weeks are just like that.

Lottie Kendall Ohmigosh, thank you! Latest twist - I had to go out for some grocery staples, went to Home Depot and just got my balsa wood myself. Still hadn't moved from "in-process" online when I got home to cancel the order! This afternoon, I play Wile E. Coyote. Lauren

Sometimes evertything we touch falls apart.  I just take a break on those days and do something else.

Catherine Ulrey OH YES! I plan to spend a good part of today binge-watching every teleclass on how-to-conduct an organizing session by teleconference that one of my professional societies has ever produced. Lauren

I always enjoy Lauren's posts but hadn't seen this one. I think we can all identify, unfortunately.

I love that term (cascading snafus) - it sounds much nicer than the term I use...cluster____!! LOL

I've been using ZOOM for 5 years and have never had a back-drop. I guess I should be thankful they haven't made me get one. I do pay for premium ZOOM so, perhaps they don't get to tell you what you can & can't use if you pay for the service! 

Great re-blog, Paul!
