Tech Support When You're Married to a Techie

My husband, Paul, isn't exactly a geek, but he could be if he tried. We met in grad school when he was the student in charge of the computer lab -- and I was the student in charge of boogering up the computers. He had to rescue all my data (this was on some monster mainframe that took up a couple of rooms) and put it into some other location on the mainframe. I guess it was a file, but I didn't know the lingo then. All I knew was that he named that location "Rosebud."

Ahhh. How romantic. How sweet. Yes, I know it was Kane's sled, but still. Just the word. Maybe he was not only the sort to rescue me from technical difficulties, but maybe he'd bring me flowers. And I thought he looked hot, too.

Thanks to his rescue, I squeaked by on my statistics project. And rather than ask me out on a date, he asked me if I could be a subject in his study project. So, all giddy, I said yes. It was some kind of statistical marketing project where I had to answer a bunch of questions on the computer. Very cozy.

Turns out he's not the sort to buy me flowers, but is the sort to buy me rosebushes so I can grow them myself. Fabulous roses, abundant roses, rewarding roses. Until you have a baby and kill all your bushes through neglect.

Paul's still involved with computers and is my last resort for tech support. Shoemaker's children and all that. I think he hates computers, and asking for help, which is always given, is not my favorite thing. It's sort of like asking him to put up the Christmas tree, before we bought an artificial one and cursing stopped being a family Christmas tradition.

Sometimes you need to seek tech support that you don't have to sleep with. When that's the case, check out Fast-teks home and business computer support. They also do home theater installation.

Awww how romantic...

And thanks for the helpful Tech Support link, however I think I'll pass on that and continue my search for Tech Support that's happy to sleep with me for payment.

(Needless to say I have a lot of unattended to tech issues...)
