The other day I was reading an article the BF left open on the computer for me. The article was about a poll done of college seniors about to enter the work force and what they expected from their new careers. Some crazy number of them (like 70%) said they would rather accept a lower salary than not have access to Facebook.

Wow. But I found myself focusing on the claim that the average person uses three or more "devices" daily at work. That seemed ridiculous to me. Really? THREE? Ormore?

So here I am, counting my devices: My laptop (I use it for my calendar and as my radio in the salon), my cell phone (my primary phone for business), and now my iPod Touch (which I've opted to use for my new Squareup account for taking credit cards, mostly because I just don't love handing my cell phone over to everyone).

Then one of my clients pointed out that I also use a Bluetooth headset.

When did I become assimilated?!

Today I also officially joined the wireless generation. The AT&T technician came in and discabooberated my telephone landline. And naturally, somehow my computer no longer behaves properly.

Which seems odd considering the technician never actuallytouchedmy computer.

And I get to unplug the telephone and the old credit card processing terminal and find a place to store them until I either find a new home for them or get comfortable with the idea that I'll never need them again.

When did being a nail technician get so technical?

(P.S. It took me an extra 40 minutes to send this post to my editor because I had to contact tech support and have the BIOS updated on the computer just so I could upload that dang photo because the computer suddenly decided it didn't have any peripherals! GRRRRRR!)
