When you have a staff that's not always up to snuff you have to expect some troubles right? Dad procrastinated till the last moment yesterday to buy the new Internet Security software. Mom went off to bed, and Dad the night owl, decided to upgrade at 2am last night.
I was watching from the guest bed and, let's say it didn't go well. At 3am Dad decided to report the issue to his technical support... Mom. She was a little crabby about the wake-up call. She started to freak that our computers would not be protected and got up to try to install it on her laptop. No luck. She was really tired by 5am and she told Dad to wake her up at 6am.
I sat on the bed watching her nod off, waiting for sleepy time. Have you ever noticed how cute humans are when they're sleeping? All curled up and innocent, darling. Anyway I waited till I heard Mom's loud snore and I sprung into action. I woke her up as she requested.
She was crabby AT ME! I guess I missed the "at 6am" part, all I heard was the "Wake me up" part. So we have to make this quick cause they have a new disc to try. Wish us all luck. I may have to cover my tender ears if it doesn't work to protect myself from the foul language.
In case there is trouble, I hope you all have a great weekend. Now enjoy some Floofy Glamor Repeats...
Update: Whew! Mom did it! Aside from the standard crabby words she uses when things take more than a millisecond to load it was uneventful. Now I can relax, and Mom can go to sleep... for now... heh, heh.
Oh yeah, humans get all cranky when doing technical computer stuff! Especially my human's boyfriend - nothing seems to go right for him. Usually I sense the bad vibes in the air and steer clear of humans who are installing new software. It's safer and less taxing on my sensitive ears.
ReplyDeletesorry about your folk's technical difficulties. i hate when things don't work they way they're supposed to, especially when i pay for it. although there's some lovely free security software out there...
ReplyDeleteWe've found that computer stuff and not getting enough sleep are two things that make humans cranky. Now combine the two...double whammy!!!
ReplyDeletePhew, glad it all worked out in the end Fin!
ReplyDeleteYour floofness is fantastic :-)
All I can say is that you mom has superhumanly good temper. If anyone/cat wakes her anytime before 6.30AM, you would expect lots more from SS.
ReplyDeleteLove your floofy pics!!
Fin, you are so right on so many issues!! My people are strange so much and when it comes to that computer stuff, I hear very bad words too much. BTW....we love your pictures....you are so very good looking!!! Have a great night Fin!!! Lots of love, Holly and mom
ReplyDeleteTechnology is the only thing Mommy and Daddy argue about. With each other, too!
ReplyDeleteWow, our mom gets lots more cranky den dat if we wake her up afore da "appointed time". Speshully if she haf not had at least 4 hours of sleep, not dat we ever wake her up early or anything...heh heh. And don't effun get us started on da 'puter stuff. We learned most of our bad word list while mom was fixing things dad borked on da 'puter.
ReplyDeleteMy mom sometimes says words that aren't nice too! Those humans have troubles troubles. And computers have a mind of their own! We hope your weekend is better.
ReplyDeleteWoah...WOAH!! If we get bootiful photos of you every time there's a computer meltdown, we wanna melt the computer down!! Hubba hubba!
ReplyDeleteFin you are a true supermodel of cats.
ReplyDeleteFin ... yoo are so norty ... but yoo hide it well! MOL! We fink yoor "guilty pleasure" is waking yoor mom up. Are we right? MOL!
ReplyDeleteMy mum and dad are both IT experts in their own worlds so I don't hear the Bad Words at home. Mum says at work is a different story.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you got it all working, Fin. Our mum has lots and lots of trouble with anything slightly computer related.
ReplyDeleteMum says lots of very naughty words too when programmes run slow. We have to put our paws in our ears and hide under the bed to try and give our delicate ears a rest from the ******** words!!
ReplyDeleteWe lady cats do get a lot of stress at times!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Our Mom hates technical stuff too. She really says a stream of norty words which hurt our ears. Glad they got the security on to keep all of your blog safe Fin. That is important. Has anyone told you lately that you are very funny.
ReplyDeleteTake care and have a fun week end.
We are glad it all worked well in the end. Our mum gets crabby when things go wrong but she has to sort it out herself cos dad doesn't know one end of a computer from the other.
ReplyDeleteThankful that you didn't have to listen to too many words! Glad everything is working.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures :)

You are so very extra gorgeous that if you woke me up..and I saw that face..I would be totally in love with it and forgive you.
ReplyDeleteThis goes for me or my mommy! We think you rock!
Sorry you had to hear such naughty words. My mon uses them, too. But I'm a macho kitty and can handle her badness.
ReplyDeleteWe luckily have what humans refer to as a tech geek living with us. So he usually takes care of the problem quickly.
Love your foof, Fin. You are a lovely lady.

It's a big pain when those humans have to install new software. My human beans have had their fair share of not programs that wouldn't load right. We can sympathise with you, Fin!
ReplyDeleteIt's always something, isn't it??
ReplyDeleteDealing with computer issues is never fun, but those are beautiful photos of you, lovely Finny...We are trying to catch up with our wonderful friends on the weekends; our Mommy's new job, along with her part time one, makes it difficult to visit during the week now...We hope you enjoy a fun weekend, sweet friend...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteCrabilated mums are not good. Glad you have protection for safe computing.
ReplyDeleteWe sumtimes have 'selective hearing' too...Like 'It's not time to eat now...means Eat Now!
