Computers

Give me a program and I will run with it, no fear. I love to stumble thru using every possible feature. Toss me a book and I will learn a program inside out. Ask me to install a program or ask me to do any type of quick fix, and I’m good for nothing. I get nerves thinking I’m installing something wrong and that there will be all sorts of problems with it because it’s not done right.

Tonight Bobby purchased a new virus protection for our computers and he asked me to give it a try. I took the CD reluctantly and placed it in the drive with fingers crossed. When asked for the License Key #, piece of cake, I can do this. About the time I was feeling proud of myself and ready to give myself a pat on the back, it asked a question but not so simple for me. Bobby was sitting behind me over on his computer but he was watching unbeknownst to me. When I turned around to get his attention he had this huge smile on his face. He knew I was flustered and with a chuckle and a little smile he told me to relax and to read it saying “you can figure it out.” With his support I didn’t feel so nervous and I was able to get this program installed. Now that’s an accomplishment for me and thanks to Bobby for giving me that extra nudge to go ahead. I know I will never be a computer technician but I may be able to get over a few of my fears.

  1. I’m exactly the same as you–I get flustered if I think I don’t know what I’m doing or if I’m going to permanently goof something up.
