FB3X Drabble Cascade #45 - Sinking

Drabble Cascade at FB3X - Every Tuesday



Title: The Waves of Technology (G, reality)
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 200
Prompt: Sinking

She loved her job, REALLY, she reminded herself, but if the stupid IT department didn’t work out the kinks of their fixes that needed fixes she was going to throw something. One program wouldn’t work with Chrome and the other only worked with Chrome and the third … The notification that the virus scan had once again caught and quarantined the Bindo virus popped up on the screen.

With great care she tried to log into her work email and where it should have automatically connected and updated, instead it asked for her password… AGAIN, then notified her that the system had disconnected her … AGAIN. She had called the front office and been told that their email was working just fine. Advice was offered that she contact the Help Desk.

Growling as even accessing her email from an outside the work system was denied to her, she thought, ‘Fine. I WILL call the Help Desk and throw myself on their mercy.’

The growl increased as the number for the Help Desk did NOT connect and then she remembered, the lastest update of technology had linked the phone system to the internet system.

Angrily, she rebooted her computer.

THAT worked.

Accidentally caught a supernova in M82 and didn't realize it until the announcement came out. Went back to check, and sure enough. Exposure: 1 minute per image ISO 800 Stack of 15 images.

From Facebook's I fucking love Science
Guideline for spotting the bright new supernova in M82 that was discovered last night. It should be visible with binoculars in the northern hemisphere, don't miss it!

Okay there was a really neat close up photo of a mother wolf spider with all her little babies catching a ride on the mommy express. She carries them until they're too big to all fit on her and even shares her food with them. I love you all and so did NOT post that photo. Instead you get a supernova. Aren't you pleased?
