I don't like admitting it, but I just ain't the sharpest scissors in the drawer when it comes to technology! See...I have this problem with something in my electrical nodes (or whatever you call them) in my body. It makes technology things jump around as if filled with poltergeists.
I was meekly sitting at my dining room table this afternoon trying to catch up on a bit of paperwork. My phone was on the table a foot or so away so that I wouldn't knock it off when I started pulling my hair out from paperwork frustration.
Suddenly.....HOLY MACARONIS!!!! My ears were filled with Pennsylvania bird calls .... LOUD Pennsylvania bird calls. Where was it coming from? The phone!! The phone?? I haven't touched the dad-gummed phone!! What do I do now? I started checking out every possible thingy on the phone....more bird calls. What should I do? Call my kids? They are all at work. Where are the cotton-pickin' calls comin' from anyway? I know they are on iTunes. Where is iTunes on the ding-a-ling phone? HELP!!
Aaackkkkkkk.....Christmas music started screaming at me! Now the dang phone was yelling Christmas songs at me! Total panic. Don't know what to touch...maybe better not touch anything. Turning around in circles and staring at the ding-dong phone accomplished nothing. Grab the house phone. Just stared at it. Who would know what's on my phone besides my busy kids?
"I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas.....,"Good King Wenceslas....blah...blah...blah," "Chestnuts Roasting...." That was my head roasting!!
For some reason I howled: "Siri, Stop the music!"
Silence....pure, blessed silence. Then calm-voiced Siri said: "Music stopped."
How did I think of Siri? I didn't. I just yelled it. Did my fingers hit something that had her listening. How? I hadn't thought of her.....I don't think. Well, how could one think when one's mind went so swiftly on vacation when chaos erupted? Dunno, folks. I guess technology created a way for Siri to meet the needs of troubled souls. So be it...me 'n technology are forever destined to meet--one way or the other.
Owww....my head hurts!
