It's Not Always Only About Money

It's Not Always Only About Money

By:


Sometimes change is necessary too. I am a writer so I have organized my apartment to make writing as easy and as efficient as possible. I have 2 computers in case one crashes, a laptop in case I have to write somewhere else and a wireless installation so that I am always online anywhere in the apartment with a fast connection to the internet, which is where I spend most of my time.
On the downside, writing is not a great money spinner unless you are John Grisham or a popular thriller writer. Tried that got nowhere! My computers are old; my screens are those ancient huge pieces of furniture that take up the entire desk top.
Now theres been a change. It all started when my wireless system stopped working. One desktop computer worked fine but the other one and the laptop were dead. I called in my technician and he slaved away for ten minutes and then said, Everythings fine, its fixed. I brought it back to life. Why dont you get yourself a decent screen if youre doing so much work? Much easier on the eyes, you know. Just buy it, bring it home, plug it in and pray. I laughed at his little joke. Plug in and pray indeed! I wrote him a check, he left and the little seed he had planted began to grow in my mind until I couldnt stand it.
I shopped around on the internet and compared prices. Then I checked the personal loan sites to see if I could afford one of those nice slim, wide screens. A little financial massaging and I raced off to the computer store.
There is now a computer store on every corner, not like a few years ago when you really had to drive around and look for one. This one was in the parking basement of a small strip mall and despite the galloping recession the place was packed with people. I waited in line and came home with my package humming a Pay and Pray mantra.
I plugged it, mumbled short prayer and it came to life. Everything was fine except the mouse refused to work. Why didnt I ask the technician to do all this? I went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. Back in the study the mouse came to life on its own and when I walked in, the computer and screen and mouse were all waiting anxiously for me to sit down and start working.
This little tale has a happy ending. Everything works. The new wide screen is great and everything is large enough for me to see without leaning into the words. Most interesting is that my production rate has increased dramatically. I guess I was tired of my dreary out of date surroundings without realizing it. Another 2 months like this and Ill be able to start thinking about a new computer!
