Networking laughter

Let me start by saying this is a happy post, not my oh god I am dying or that I am mad at the world , so here is what I want to start by playing a really sweet song that made me feel good. And the woman singing it is so hot.




It began a perfect afternoon, I applied some powder to my face, mascara to my lashes and just a touch of blush for color though I really didn't need it since it was 21 degrees outside.

Off to the side job where I felt the most comfortable being myself. I was on a job site installing a new router that was needed for the wireless laptops the bosses use. The damn thing was knocking people off the network even though it wasn't being used for the network, whoever set up the old router, gave the ip(192.168.1.1) which was needed for the new setup, to a printer which I needed so I of course took it back and gave the printer an ip address of 1.2, little did I know I would knock Cherie (you will hear about her shortly) off the network. So I get the router setup give it a new ip and put the printer back on the setup ip, not knowing people are getting knocked off like a chain reaction, domino affect if you will which to me is funny and frustrating at the same time. I'd like to grab the person who set this up originally by the throat and rub his nose in it. Today I didn't scratch one nail good thing too or this would have been a sad post (smirks).

As I am tidying up the loose ends Cherie comes to me and asks were there changes to the network she has lost connections. So then my phone rings which I had used my nieces singing "you are my sunshine" for a ring tone, it is so cute. It's my sister letting me know my nieces are staying over at my parents which really gives me a lift that day, they are my super powers.

Hmm, wonder what her ip was? So as I look into her pc which is a mac her ip WAS 1.2 tada, well all that was needed was to reboot and sure enough it was back. This was a bad setup from the beginning, I have much work to fix this issue. So now this is where my fantastic day began.

Cherie by the way is married so know I didn't meet a gg for love though if the situation were different I wouldn't turn her down but we became girl friends that afternoon by way of web site development. She went to explain how she does the art there at the store and had attended school for PHP in web design which is interesting since I do web design as a hobby.
Never took a class for any of it but that is another story someday.

So I showed her the lesbian and gay web site I maintain. She was impressed with my work, I had to tell her because things were pointing in the wrong direction. I wear the rainbow bracelet and maintain a gay site hmmm :)
The subject was moved a bit to the ringtone which I pointed to my sisters youtube but to get there she seen my video. What better way to see if someone understands who I am than with my one video and I said go ahead watch that and I will be back.

Now if you haven't seen the video you will probably not understand what I am saying but those who did will. That slide show captured her heart and brought tears to her eyes, also made a friendship before I returned.
We are both women even though I am in a different wrapper. I may look somewhat male but inside I am all female. The music and words blend into the photos which tell it's own story and I couldn't tell it better than the way I made it. Creative I do say the least.
So when I returned I asked her, are you alright and she was ecstatic and our friendship began anew.
The rest of the day I showed her other web designs of my own and talked about my shoes which I love the reactions from women, the clothes, makeup and the many things us girls love to talk about.
Yes I am a girly girl, and if there is a pair of shoes out there that you like I may own them already. Now she was the girl who own more bags than shoes, I have two bags (purses) and need to get back to work and start matching bags with shoes :)

So there is my afternoon filled with joy, not the laughing type but a wonderful glow in it's own right. I love networking :)

OMG I thought you seen that I am so sorry, it is a video where coming out explains better than me telling it. It is very sad and I didn't mean for it to be that way, more people are in tears than I ever thought. I am so sorry sis, I thought you seen it.

Love you much
Sis

I said I was moved to tears, hon, not sad. I don't think the video is sad. I think it's hopeful. But it's also moving.

Love you too.
