Be warned of my craziness, this is going to be something of a rant! Ah, where to begin? Well, it all began with Microsoft and their accursed updates that they inflict upon you with Windows 10. My hatred for them is immense and runs deeply through my veins.

So, to get on with the story, obviously Microsoft installed updates and messed my stuff up. Over three hours on the phone and two techs later I end up with an appointment for a level 2 tech in a couple of days. She retries everything they did and had a couple of other tricks up her sleeve, to no avail. Then we uninstall the updates and check programming (ok, she did that), and well, what do you know, why yes, yes it was the flawed updates. Reinstall the fixed updates and take my computer back in time. That didn't mess up too much stuff and they did leave behind some of their fixing programs, but I figure I'll need that again, anyway.

What happened next, you say? No, not more updates yet. But my phone started doing weird things like not liking what I was doing and taking me to other places. Then not coming on, as my internet connection, this was a problem. So, the new phone, but my phone was so crazy they could barely get my contacts downloaded. The guy at the phone store said he'd never seen a phone do such weird things. I think the pulsating threw him off.

So, then I proceed to add my email accounts, etc., uh-oh. Yahoo had made me change my password awhile back on the fly, and me with no pen. Not too big a deal, right? A VERY big deal. Apparently, they found that one of their servers leaked personal information from 2014 ( or since, I can't remember), I've tried for days and I just can't do it anymore. What's the big deal? It's just email. Well, I've had that account for years and everything's connected to it. Such as Paypal and almost everything. Now you can actually talk to a real person at Paypal, and I'm just having to deal with all the other things or leave them by the wayside. Now Yahoo on the other hand, need help, they just send you to the community and hope that we can figure out each others' problems. Or in endless loops, with no answers. Certainly not their problem. I know people must work there, it just seems like there's no one out there. Well, they can just keep my address, but the jokes on them, I get over a hundred emails a day!! So, I have declared Yahoo my archenemy and nemesis, my hatred knows no bounds. Hence forward I shall forever curse their name! They suck.

Now, for the irony. Those updates where this whole thing began, guess what they had messed up? Couldn't get into my email!! Cortana was messed up too, but really ...

I hope you enjoyed the story of my technical nightmare! Stay tuned for further trials and tribulations. But just wait, one of these days I'm really gonna get my site finished!!
