The Nobel Peace Prize
The last blog entry on this blog, Computer Expertise, was about my one stroke of computer genius.
If you think computers are hard for me, you should see how hard it is for efficient computer whizzes to work with me!
What and how and how genially Heaven Admin (Santhan) has done and done and re-done for me would take a whole book. One special moment I will recount, however, was when he called me — on the telephone — to give me what he called simple instructions. Of course, to me, his use of the word simple is like when a physicist says something is really simple — simple for physicists, that is — sure, simple for computer whizzes who catch on right away!
Heaven Admin learned his lesson! Instructions that would have taken only fifteen minutes for a normal person to get down pat, took me about three hours, during which time Heaven Admin, who must have been wiping his brow, would cry out periodically,”Excellent! Excellent!” With every hour, my face got redder and redder and I sank deeper and deeper into the ground, yet I am undaunted.
(A funny thing, Heaven Admin never called me again after that. For some reason, he just preferred to do things himself without my help.)
Now, as you know, Sascha has innocently come on the scene. He has even offered to help all Heavenreaders with their computer questions. http://www.heavenletters.org/offer-to-allaround-techical-help-to-heavenletters-readers-12884.html So far, Sascha has been working exclusively with me. Hmm, I have the impression that Sascha may be struggling, but I think he has too much character to back out.
For instance, Sascha got a little confused when I politely said, “Please take all the time you need for this, ” and the next day I wrote:
“Dear Sascha, I said anytime, but I really meant anytime YESTERDAY.”
I did wonder what Sascha was implying when he told me what he usually gets paid per hour — an astronomical sum.
I cheerily wrote back:
“Well, Sascha, you know I have ten System Administrators waiting in line to volunteer to go to a lot of trouble. They all are begging me to allow them to fix things, knowing how easy and pleasant it is to work with non-techno people like myself. However, I have chosen YOU.”
You might think Sascha didn’t believe me, because he wrote back: “nja … nja … nja …” In fact, I have received quite a few emails from Sascha that say “nja…nja…nja…”
Sascha also wrote puzzling things like this: “You know I have managed thousands of high-risk servers, but you …”
What do you think he meant by “but you…”
Then he emailed me: “Santhan should get a Nobel Prize for peace.”
Wanting to encourage Sascha, I wrote back: “Beloved Sascha, maybe you will be lucky and get the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009!”
Well, you know his answer:
“nja…nja..nja…”
