If Only...in 2025

I don't think this world is off to a good start, but being the optimist me, I'm hoping things will get better. First, none of the old problems as to wars and fights between nations have subsided, and worse yet, everyday a new one pops up, such the terrorism attacks in our own country.

One of those attacks I read in the Hindustan Times first and I thought theirs was a fake news. Two days later, our news people reported the same thing. I don't know if powers-that-be are holding our news people back or our news people are too lazy to deliver the news on time. Your guess is as good as mine. By the way, that's why I read the news from the many different world sources because I can't trust our own news people. Even the evening news in all the TV channels is more ads than news. Go figure or should I say, go live with it!

Then, on the personal front, I'm having such difficulty with the companies not training their workers properly with the recent Ai changes. This goes for all companies. And it isn't the fault of the advances in the technology. If they want to change their mode of operations, shouldn't they really learn the technology first?

Also, in my own house, one of the toilets flooded during the last week and I had to clean and change the whole thing. Luckily, I have a reliable plumber, and he could come the next day. Then, my internet provider Comcast is giving me such a trouble, especially with the email. Five years ago, I went to their local store with my husband's death certificate and changed the whole thing into my name. Now, they keep dumping me from my email and asking me to re-enter with the Xfinity ID that was my late husband's. I don't even know what that is. Then, my local bank closed its branch near me, just when I needed to get into my box in their vault. Luckily, their closure was temporary and they opened up, again, after a week.

On the plus side, health-wise, I seem to be doing acceptably. Thank God for that! I wish God would help with all the companies I have to deal with nowadays. Only because I am always on the alert, wondering which company will do what because they don't know how to handle technology. Then, one can get a heart attack or lose the mind due to dealing with the long waits on the phone to be suddenly dumped. or worse, to get some agent who has no inkling of what's going on.

Still, I have my sons and my health and Writing.com. Thank you God, for these big favors! Now, Dear God, if You would just....fix all the other stuff in 2025? Pretty please?
