so the gnomes that like to mess up my answering machine have gone one step further. my cordless phone that talks to said answering machine is missing. luckily i have a corded phone in my bedroom, but still, it's the principal of the thing. still don't have internet access upstairs. hope to soon though. i also need to get a computer geek of my acquaintance to fix my printer port. it has problems talking with the rest of my computer. suckiness. but other than that i'm not having much problems with technology. figured out how to make a spreadsheet that does auto sums the other day. that was quite an adventure.
