Young People... That's me!
She was slender with long hair. Her eyes had mild crows feet but, by no means, was she old. As I studied her face, I wondered how I knew her.
She smiled as she said, "This won't work. Can you get it to connect?"
Okay. I'm not a computer genius but connecting to Wi-Fi I can do. Sometimes the Panera Wi-Fi is stubborn. She has the Yahoo homepage open and Scott Trade in the search bar but it's not searching. I check her Wi-Fi icon for connectivity (makes me sound tech savvy-huh?) The internet access icon had a ! next to it. Who knows why the connection was wonky but I disconnected and reconnected.
I asked the lady if I could open a new internet window and the Yahoo homepage popped up again. She became excited. "Oh! Put in Scott Trade."
Voila! I did it.
I really didn't do a thing. The slow router probably caught up with the number of patrons using it.
Needless to say, she was awed by my computer skills (*coughs*).
"Oh, thanks. Hi, I'm Beth." She sticks out a hand and shakes mine. "When this stuff happens, I always look for young people (I'm stunned speechless). They always know what to do."
I started laughing. She thought I was young. While it's true people guess my age in the lower thirties, I'm really in the mid-forties. And this woman couldn't have been more than five years older than me. I had a good laugh. I'm so glad I'm considered one of those "young people".
You are gorgeous, my dear. Sorry I've been absent. Family drama has been a drain. I decided to not try and do camp (obviously) but am taking on the A to Z blog challenge. It's a lot easier since you can post ahead of time. ~grin~ I will try to get back into the swing and hang out with you darling youngster, you. Be well!
