You're right about this being like a job search. I thought I had it all under control. I was wrong. Frequently job seekers enter today's market thinking they have it all under control too. The come with tactics from their last search 10 years ago and sadly find out they won't work ... any more than 10-year-old technology will work in today's computers. I'm glad I'm back too. I knew my file were safe and would be restored. I began to panic when I couldn't download Tweetdeck ... that was a catastrophe. Thankfully, I got it back too. Who knew I was such a Twitter addict??? (Don't answer that!!) Julie –

I'm still a "geek-in-training", but I'm learning. The upside to things like this happening is I learn a great deal about hardware and software. Gary is a GEM and I am so fortunate to have found him. In fact, he called today to be sure things were still working properly. I'm blown away by his service levels, follow-through and commitment to getting things right. You KNOW how I am about details ... he's right there with me. Kim –

We've all "been there" in one way or another. Job seekers run the gamut of planning. Some approach the search with an "I'll take anything" approach. Others have one path, one plan and no back up if things don't' go their way. Neither is effective. There is a happy medium between the two extremes. Establishing Plan B is a step in the right direction. Great outcome is right! Thanks! Jacqui –

You're not alone in your Mac love. I've had several people make the same suggestion. None quite as passionatley as you. :) I like to expect the best, but also understand the importance of planning for the worst behind optomistic expectations. And when I forget about or dismiss the need for back up plans, life swoops in and reminds me ... super-stressed is a good description for those times! Louise –

I knew it was bad... and I watched you not talking... on Twitter, anywhere... and I can totally relate since I just went through part of that journey myself. You are right in relating this to job seekers as Louise and Jacqui already said... We all have taught this to our clients. Why using the single course... or outdated methods or no network all can cripple your job search. Why thinking that you are on the 30 year plan of your career can catch you unaware. I am glad you are back... and hope all your computer woes are over for a long, long time. Wow!
