I so much appreciate online humor when I find it, that I really need to tell you about my latest discovery: The Junk Drawer | Humor for the Masses, a blog run by Kathy, who defines the thing she’s doing there like this:
What’s in The Drawer? Here you’ll find stories about anything that amuses me, confuses me, or makes me blow a gasket. I complain a lot here, but that’s a good thing! Some of my regular readers consider a visit to The Junk Drawer cheap therapy. You can always come here to unwind and unload.
I arrived to Kathy’s humor blog by chance, reading a post about tweaking a blog to make money online by attracting more search engine traffic to it. The Junk Drawer was the subject of a small case study in there and I went to check it out. One hour later, I was still in the drawer, despite the fact that I had one client waiting for me to finish a job. I’m so familiar with tech support for old parents, that I can argue Kathy’s following statement any given time:
Despite our ongoing nightmare, there is one undeniable fact: My Dad may be the world’s biggest tech support challenge, but he’s the only octogenarian in his senior apartment complex who has a computer and is not afraid to use it, and I say that’s pretty cool.
This is surely cool, but I happen to know another one, who’s making me re-install his operating system every two months, because he doesn’t know any English at all, but clicks on everything that’s clickable.
Now, as Kathy says, go “take a look around the drawer. Just leave everything where you found it.”
Kathy, I left everything as you wanted. I just took your feed for my reader. I surely could use your online humor any given time.
Simonne — Oh, thank you for this wonderful shout-out! I’m so glad you found your way to The Drawer. I laughed when you said he “clicks on everything that’s clickable.” Yeah, that’ll surely get you in trouble. It’s so hard to instruct my father “It’s OK to click on this, but not on that!” He does his best and he’s actually doing quite well with his PC. I don’t have to help nearly as much as I did when the system was new. Although I did just have to go down last week because his sound wasn’t working. And, of course, while I was there he asked me five other questions “since you’re here.” Ugh. The ambush.
You made my day when I saw you wrote this. Thanks so much! Please drop back at The Junk Drawer any time. I welcome new readers with open arms!
I am so glad I picked up some “chill” in my old age because I enjoy helping my 80 year old Aunt with anything and everything for the PC. That includes printing for this weekend with a new printer. She cut the flat cable inside the printer thinking it was a paper jam. !!
I like Kathy’s blog. Not just because I did the theme for it, but becuase she makes me laugh. She made it into the feed reader awhile ago. Nice to see other people like her site as well.
