Lunchroom Chat

http://youtu.be/cs4py0OB9vk


OK...so I have been beyond frustrated. I couldn't seem to figure out how to get my cute little video to run except through a link as opposed to a video. While it would appear, it wouldn't run from the thumbnail while I was working in draft or in the preview mode. A process that was supposed to be relatively self-explanatory turned into a two day thorn in my side. I tried to get this thing working properly at least three times, from every angle I could think of.

I decided to throw up my hands in defeat and post it anyways. Fully prepared to cry "Uncle" and beg for advice from my readers,  imagine how silly I felt when I hit publish and everything seems to be running properly. Picture who quickly I scrambled to edit my original text, which admittedly bordered on hysterical. Feeling mighty foolish, foolish, foolish!

If I am lucky, my family will eventually forgive me for foisting my little problem on them and ruining what should have been a peaceful weekend! I am suddenly reminded of the line from the movie A League of Their Own", where Tom Hanks states, "There's no crying in baseball!" Well, as far as I am concerned, there shouldn't be any crying on Blogger, either. Unfortunately, that was not the case for me this weekend.  I'm starting to think that this old dog can't be (or shouldn't be) taught any of these new tricks....

    Your video was hilarious. Yes,it is true how we depend on so many Web 2.0 ways to converse. I opened Facebook account so that I would be able to keep track of my daughter's experience while she studied in Morocco in spite of the fact we spoke to each other weekly through Skype.

      Thanks. As much as I like to grouse about technology, it does have it's benefits. We use Skype to talk with my step-daughter in Japan quite regularly. I like being able to see with my own two eyes how she is doing. When the earthquake hit over there last year, I was so grateful for Facebook because it was the only way she could let us know she was safe.
