networking

I couldn’t log in this morning because the VPN wouldn’t work.

The computer restarted as soon as I turned it on so I thought that was to blame.

I tried everything I could think of, even restarting my laptop, twice.

Finally, I woke Barb to ask her if something changed with the VPN I wasn’t aware of. She said no.

I said I have to go in then because I can’t connect, and she would have to give me a ride because she needed the car today.

So she got up and used her computer to try to troubleshoot what the problem might be. Couldn’t find anything wrong on her computer.

We both looked at my computer. Couldn’t figure out why the VPN wasn’t connecting. It’s not that it couldn’t log in, it wouldn’t even connect to the network.

“Is it plugged in?” Barb asked.

“Well of course it’s plugged in! Do you think I wouldn’t pl… ”

The network cable wasn’t plugged in.

I died.

And then I plugged in the network cable.

“You’re welcome,” she said, and offered me her cheek to kiss.

Have a great day, everyone. I sure am.
