Jan 11th & 12th

Well yesterday I spent a couple hours at the neighbour's two doors down. He's retired and now spends more time doing things on his computer. He had come in last week and a few times before to ask for some help, but I needed to go to his house. He was very organized and had his topics all written down and questions ready for me. I sat beside him and explained what was what and he did all the clicking and typing. It was a good little training. He caught on really fast and came in this morning to tell me that he really learned something yesterday, he seemed all happy and giddy and proud still be learning something new at his age.

Yesterday I also had another retired man's laptop (for a couple days already) that he wanted Windows 7 installed on. So I went about updating and doing a back up first, JUST IN CASE... after a bit of arguing with the thing it finally installed Win 7. Everything seemed to be up and running... until he calls me the same evening saying, it doesn't read Cd's and there's now sign of the E: drive. GREAT! so I brought back the computer and some Cd's and manuals, which were no help at all... I had looked up the problem on discussion forums but couldn't seem to fix it on my own... so I had to call for back up. I handed the laptop over to my husband and within 1 hour he had it fixed. I'm so gratefully to have him :) "Thanks Hun!"

Today was a bit of everything day, I started by updating the Bellevue website with the latest Newsletter. Cleaning up the messy desktop I had... making sure the other computers in the office are also updating...did some cleaning and decorating for Valentines. I also took some pictures and emailed them for the cook at the Restaurant (we need to get some appliances fixed and the mechanic wanted to see exactly what kind it was before coming).
I helped the Services Canada lady get installed and punched in my code so she can use the photocopier.
yeah it was a bit of this and a bit of that all day.

Now I'm going to go help patch up the town outdoor Skating rink along with my Uncle.

Talk to you guys later.
