When a computer crushes, it could be a blessing


My computer that I brought from the U.S. crushed yesterday. It was initially a devastating event; it means I could not do any work at my residence last night. I just cannot imagine what would the impact be for one evening of no computer and no work.

Last night on December 30, was actually a mandatory no-computer-work-night for me. Instead, I cooked and I played recorder. I used to play recorder quite often in the U.S. I even brought the recorder with me to Taiwan. Probably because of the work load and lack of motivation, I cannot imagine how long I have not practiced recorder for the last six months. Now, because my computer crushed, it looks like an excellent opportunity for me to pick up the recorder and to practice the recorder again.


It was such a joy. When a computer crushes, it actually can be a blessing.
