This is me after a day of working a new job, still not understanding quite what I am doing, and having frustrations tightly gripping my craw!  I tend to love the nature of my job - working with people - but there's that computer and paper work....  

Now, I am NOT a natural when it comes to technology.  Not by any means.  In fact, I make computers grow legs and run away when they see me coming!  I'm especially not used to working with spread sheets and with anything other than what MAC offers....which, by the way, they say is more "user friendly" as it relates to creative people like myself, though I have often challenged them.  After they handed me a Dell laptop at my new job, I knew I was in trouble, since trouble follows me - even on the machine I am most familiar with!  

At any rate, today, after having seen clients now for a couple of weeks and fumbling through the paper work each day, I hit a wall!  I was still struggling so much trying to wade through the excel program that my eyes glazed over and my pre-ulceric stomach churned one final time before the lump in my craw oozed right up through my throat and turned into a groan that would have insulted even a hoot owl with laryngitis.  I tried to text and then call my supervisor.  No answer.  I had 30 minutes to finish the paperwork before leaving to see my next client and things were not clicking.  So through bleary eyes and in desperation I sent my notes via e-mail to my boss explaining my predicament, then packed up all technological devices along with their "wireage" and attachments and hit the road to my next destination.  A three-hour appointment that would end with me and my computer having yet another stand off in the front seat of my car!  Once again, I managed to power on all electronics and begin the daunting job of entering data.  For some reason things did in fact come a bit easier this final time, though a meeting with someone who can walk me through is in order soon!  

Yep, that was my day.  8:00 am - 7:30 pm.  Complete with the highs and lows of a thriller movie!  Gonna pull off my boots and try to forget it ever got to me!  Now, ain't that a hoot!?
