A Lesson I Learned
A Lesson I Learned
This week we had technical issues in our house. One minute everything was fine and the next minute our wired (and wireless) life came to a standstill. I am not tech-savvy, so I always rely on the other members of my household when something goes wrong. But this time no one could find or rather fix the issue. As the day went on, the frustration factor grew. Nothing was working!
The next morning, our anxiety about not being able to get on the internet had grown. And the long holiday weekend was approaching. Eventually, I made the decision that we needed someone with a little more expertise to help us out.
Yes, it cost me some money, but by the time I arrived home from work, everything was fixed!
The fix was something we never could have found or solved ourselves. We would have just gone in circles becoming increasingly frustrated. Finally, thanks to our supercomputer service, all is well.
My lesson learned is this… hire a professional when needed. Don’t hesitate. No one can do it all. And this time, that meant getting internet access assistance. Next time, maybe it will be cutting down a tree or painting the house. Who knows? Just remember, to delegate the tasks that you can not or do not want to do. Just get them done.
