Welcome to my regular Friday feature, Worst of the Week. As a white, suburbanite husband and dad of two kids, there’s a lot that can go wrong and this entry is all about how to fix it. I hope you enjoy it!
Except for a few minor homework issues, Patrick and Erin were good all week, so I give you my Worst of the Week.
Late Wednesday night, I decided to add a few widgets to my (WordPress) blog. Unfortunately the integration didn’t go so well and I inadvertently crashed my site.
Now if you’re like me, after your Wife and Kids, your website is the most important thing in you life. If it goes down you go down and you scramble like hell to get it up. Even if that means staying up until 4am to fix it.
I couldn’t stay up that late, but on Thursday I contacted the one person I knew that could help me with my problem. My friend Ian, from New York City. Thank God I got a hold of him and that he was able to help me. In a matter 30 minutes of a few clicks I was up and running again. Ian is the kind of guy that I can depend on when things go awry.
I’m fortunate to have many friends with many different talents that can help me when I’m in need. Which brings me to my point – it’s not too early to have you children know who to depend on in different situations or to know what his (or her) talent is so they can help other kids, too (reading, baseball, tying shoes, trouble on the bus, etc.).
What is you kid’s special talent or does he/she have friends they can seek out when they are in need?
Indecently, I took Chris Brogan’s advice and upgraded to the WordPress Thesis Theme. It’s so much better then what I had before.
