So How Was Your Day Today ?

What a day! I started out checking the status of a package I sent back via UPS. Then  I went on my Actice Rain Blog where ther was a video playing of the new movie "Yesterday" coming to movie theaters on June 28th in the corner. Although I enjoyed the video. I knew I did not put them there and there was a problem. 

 

Not having the time to fix it at home I packed up my computer and off to the office I went. Xfinity does give me Norton Anti Virus for free. Many people have told me not to depend on any free service but I will tell you they put me through to Norton.. I allowed the tech to take control of my computer. Within minutes he found the problems and had me watch as he deleted the main problem and walked me through potential problems

 

One of the main ones which as a blogger I have been enjoying and our Sheri Sperry - MCNE®  wrote a post on was Grammarly . I asked if I could keep it as I was a horrid speller and it really helped me. He very kindly said ask Siri. We should remove it. So I had to say good-bye to this program .There was also an extension from UPS. Then he asked me if I used go to meeting I emphatically said 'Yes" he told me I could keep that. He was wonderful and fixed my computer in very short time thank goodness. He was fantastic. 

 

Well that did take half the day but the worse information is the City of Philadelphia's computers have crashed. Yes ,where we get our titles for our Real Estate Closings. So now out settlements for June are on hold until they get this problem straightened out. I will keep everyone up to date

Kat Palmiotti I remember the days without computers and I would rather have these small inconveniences - nice thoughts 

Sheila Anderson  my peronal computer problems were solved but the City Of Philadelphia computer problems are far from solved 

Sally K. & David L. Hanson  Enjoying my weekend is a given - I will try to see if I can settle my cash City deal early as anything after the 17th is up because of the computer crashes 

Have a Great Weekend

Hi Hannah... I suspect my day was less stressful than yours was... and I even managed to work in a mani-pedi at the end of the day and now feeling like a "new" woman!

Oh my goodness, good to know about Grammerly, I almost got it. Technology is so great, until it's not.  Hope things calm down for you on the tech side.

Some days are just messy, others are grand. I think your turn for a simple, easy day is coming up.

I took yesterday off - high school graduation day for our youngest granddaughter who is spending these next 3 days with us.

Hannah good to hear that you got your computer issues solved.

Philadelphia got hit hard by hacker last month which has caused us to not fund any loans there until the issues are correct.  This has caused a huge problem for Buyers and Sellers.

Lottie Kendall My grandson is graduating from high school Thursday night I cannot believe it. Congrats to you enjoy your time with her

George Souto  I cannot believe they did not have a back-up system. Thankfully my settlement is cash so we can push it up and don't have to worry about financing. There are so many people with serious issues because of this hack everyone is in a tizzy it makes me dizzy 

Grant Schneider  The one that hit the City of Philadelphia is quite serious no one knows for sure what is going on.

Thank you for reading

Hi Hannah,
A perfectly good day can be spoiled with computer issues, can't it?  Glad you were able to get it fixed.  You have me wondering if I should be worried about having Grammarly on my computer.  I have the upgraded version. I wonder if that is more secure???  I wish hackers would go do something productive with their skills or curl up and...

Sorry you had a frustrating day on Friday! Did you have a nice evening?

Carol Williams  I deleted Gammarly and was advised not to use it again which i will not. Back to pick and peck.

That is was not the real issue it is the City of Philadelphia's Computers being hacked and not being able to settle properties . It is the last Paragraph of my post . Read George Souto comment on my post#18 , We are all walking on glass and trying to keep everyone calm.

I understand. I had read George's comment. It's frustrating m(and can cause hardship) for everyone when things don't go as planned, especially when it's so unnecessary.

Carol Williams  don't forget Philly is one of the largest cities in the country you would think they had a back-up system. Think about how many people are effected  by this crash

Hannah, so sorry to hear this happened, and I too downloaded Grammerly, maybe need to remove it also.  Unbelievable that the computers for the City crashed causing lots of problems!

Joan Cox  I really mis Grammerly it made everything so easy but easy is not always the best way to go. 

The City of Philadelphia Court computers being temporally shut down is so frustrating for everyone has no one knows how or when these computers will come back on line. Title commitments are being approved on an individual basis but then again there are also mortgage companies to also approve these title reports also -- thankfully my city closing is cash 

Thank you for your professional input
