So about a week ago my laptop crashed after a windows update. Finally reformatted and reinstalled last night. In the midst of transferring my files back over and then the one side of the hinge on my R2 button on my ps4 controller has now broken. I mean come on. I really don't need to be fighting with electronics any more this week.😒😔 off to find a metal paper clip now so I can fix this button and hopefully still have time to read today. 😑

SandyW Sounds like the universe wants you to sit down with a hardcover book and cup of tea instead of electronics! 😟 6y
brilliantglow @SandyW honestly how it's been feeling lately. Which is great because I love to do that😂😂 buuuttt I also really need my laptop at least working. Need it for work. The controller is not so important. I can fix it anytime. I still have another one anyway. 6y
RadicalReader @brilliantglow you‘re quite the expert when it comes to electronics eh? 5y

Any other 80's kids out there who missed the technology bus? I remember when aol instant message came out. Unfortunately I was outside riding my bike or reading! The Forever-Fiancé bought himself a Christmas present. Too bad neither one of us know how to use it! ? sometimes I miss the old days ?? #oldschool
