Mark accidentally messed up his computer the other day. It was a stressful day. Thank goodness he has the applecare plan with tech support. He spent ALL day trying to figure out and resolve the problems and restore his computer to proper working order. He would be on the phone for a long time then work on what they told him, then be on the phone for a long time, then work on what they told him... (repeat sentence 10 more x's and you might have an adequate picture of his day)
He is so tenacious about focusing on getting a problem solved. I know myself. I would spend so much energy ignoring, being annoyed by and trying to work around the problem rather than facing it head on like he does. He is my inspiration. He remained fairly patient throughout the day too. A bonus I wasn't expecting.
When it was all over and he told me he had fixed it I said......
"That's nice"
He looked at me incredulously, raised his eyebrows and countered,
"Nice?! Nice is having a piece of toast with some real butter on it. That's nice.
This is incredible!!!!!"
There you have it. Now you know.
Toast with REAL butter is NICE.
A working computer, resolved problems, the universe once again in perfect balance.... That's INCREDIBLE!!
What do you think is nice?
