FAT32. Fat chance.

Writing 4 Minutes

Whew.

Whew!

WHEW!

hmm….*Cassandra feels a bit stuck in Groundhog’s Day. Seems like the same dumb Electronic I don’t give two damn and don’t want to work dumbness is going on*. Ack!

Today’s tormentor? FAT32, of course. What is FAT32, you ask? Exactly!? Pffft! Tell me, and we shall both know….*pout*…*Cassandra suspects yet another moving, inspirational post is fixing to be derived from yet ANOTHER dumb, ridiculous, stupid electronic failure/fiasco/what the f—…ooops….my bad….*…*Cassandra wonders how smart it is to be trying to wax poetic coffee free(gasp) while staring suspiciously at the external harddrive working it’s way towards 100% doneness of being done doing whatever the hell it started doing 13 hours ago!!!!!!!*

Yikes!: Okay, so, um, like me thinks you have forgotten you were talking to the beloveds about being fat when you were 32.

Egads!: Yikes! she was talking about FAT32.

Yikes!: What the world is FAT32?

Egads!: How should I know? She hasn’t told us yet. Why don’t you ask her?

Yikes!: YIKES!!You KNOW how she is ‘coffee-free’! You ask her?
Egads!: Fat chance!

Yikes! and Egads! do the smart thing and beat a hasty retreat…

97%

97!!!!….*Cassandra does a jig. 97%!!*….*Cassandra dances about, prepared to forgive the now stupid harddrive if the dumb green bar can just get to 100% of doing something about the fact her now dumb movies won’t show up and work right already on her supposedly SMART TV that is now just as dumb as the other tvs that are not so blasted smart yet they are smart enough to NOT advertise not being smart and are therefore not held to account when they don’t do the blasted smart things the stupid SMART TV says it can and should be doing now!*

Whew.

Whew!

WHEW!

What’s FAT32? Why the world are you asking me for? Oh, yea, I was supposed to be providing you with inspiration, charm, wit, aplomb, beaboutitness, and all manner of getafteritness and wegotitgoingonlikepopcornness while deftly and charmingly explaining what the world FAT32 is in a witty and don’tgiveupyetness the world will enthusiastically approve/applaud from.

98%,

98!?…crap…*sigh*….stupid harddrive.

So, here I sit 14 hours after I started…*sigh*. I had the brilliant, or so I thought, idea of hooking up my external harddrive in order to watch stored movies and television shows so as not to have to be fighting with data text messages who have, here lately, been sending me taunting, warning messages of data usage. Now, you tell me how this is being my plan is supposedly unlimited. Do NOT get me started on THAT until AFTER I have had some coffee….

So, presto, hook up, ensconce myself in movie snacks and comfort and…..some play, some don’t, some show, some don’t. Crap! I can now admit, beloveds, that yelling, hollering, screaming at the SMART TV does not, in fact, get the now dumb thing to start acting smart and start doing the thing it is supposed to. However, yelling, hollering, screaming and such apparently will scare the SMART TV into admitting that for some reason FAT32 is or is not being recognized and apparently needs to be for some ridiculous or smart reason. Do NOT ask me. I am an electronic dummy, remember?

Long story short, I google FAT32 and am given wonderfully brilliant instructions that make not a whole lot of sense explaining how to install some supposedly smart assistant that will quickly and cleverly separate the NTSF into FAT32 so I can watch my blasted movies and shows. WTH!?

Did it work? How the hell should I know. The dumb thing is only at 99…10..it’s converting!! It’s converting!!!!…..*Cassandra does in indelicate indecent jig this blasted early in the morning but who gives two figs*….the operation has concluded successfully!! Yaya!!

Whew.

Whew!

WHEW!!

Did it work? Fat chance. Yet, it did get things more organized. For the SMART TV that is. As for me, I am still pouting my way through which movies will or will not taunt me and show themselves to and for me. Along the way, I did learn a bit more about what files will and will not show on this thing or in that way yada yada forever yada. Yet another adventure I will start, once I have had my coffee…*sigh*.

This was just another reminder, a daily reminder, to just keep on doing the blasted thing, the frustrating day, until it turns into a satisfying mess of a day but I am STILL here and trying type day. Ah! Another life lesson. Life is full of them, if you are open and willing to look and work and make the chili, take out the trash, do the TRY, hope when all feels hopeless and all the otherness and mess we MUST do to keep it moving, keep it going, being about it until we….beloveds, haven’t you not yet realized the brilliance of this thing called life?

There will NEVER be an until. We NEVER get there. At least, we are never supposed to. There is, has been, ever shall be something we are making our way towards, to, and or through. Why? Don’t ask me. Ask God and Life. All I know is that as we do this thing, as we be about being about it, as we strive, as we give our all, as we give our TRY, as we remove this, add that, fuss with this, embrace that. Well, we continue to find:

Lessons.

Essence.

Meaning.

Being.

Freeing.

Freedom.

Love.

Laughter.

Hope.

Joy.

Peace.

Frustration.

Tears.

Cheers.

And insodoing, we find….us!

Yep, you find, you. I find, me. How great is that!!? Like the toy in the midst of a satisfying box of Cracker Jack!!

Best be about being about it, beloveds. Time is short. Yet, we have enough time, just enough, to DO something, to BE, to give, to grow, to love. To do all manner of this or that. You just need to decide, then get off your hind end and do the thing already. You never know how long your thing will take. Mine has taken me 14 hours. How long did yours take? Lemme know.

being about it,

Cassandra
