have had so much problem trying to connect my office laptop to my wireless at home. i had tried many times when i had my old laptop but failed. and again, when i tried doing it with my new laptop, i failed. and after so many times of trying, i gave up. i decided not to do it. i decided i should just rely on my blackberry to work. not the best idea but hey, i could still get my job done! eventually, i forgot about this issue altogether.
today my hr asked me to help do some stuff that would require me to login to my office email from home. it got me thinking again of my screwed up issue about not being able to establish the wireless with my home modem. and so, i called my i.t. support to help but they referred me to my service provider instead.
i came home. settled down and decided to call my service provider. a sweet sounding lady answered the phone. the lady was super nice and patient with me. and she asked me to click this, click that, double click here, right click there... we tried many ways and they were all unsuccessful. and finally, she asked me to hook it up via the connection cable. and she guided me to key in the url that would allow her to view my screen (screen sharing). and i did. and she tried clicking a lot of things and all did not work. i was so sure there was something very wrong.
finally she asked me to check if i had switched the wireless connection on my laptop to "on"...
.................................
i felt so freaking embarrassed!
this should never have happened to me - someone who used to head an i.t. support branch!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
