This story has a happy ending, but at the time I wrote this, it sure didn’t look all that favorable for yours truly,
Okay, before I lose my mind completely I’m going to tell you I TRIED to write today. I really did. But I opened up my Word file for Greed at the Happy Valley Motor Inn and Resort to find that my subscription to Microsoft Word had lapsed and that I needed to renew. I could READ my work in progress but couldn’t WRITE anything.
No biggie. Right?? WRONG. I could not remember the password for the account. And my phone number had changed since I set it up. I filled out a form, but couldn’t recall any previous passwords. I don’t think I ever had but the one.
I tried to chat with support through a new account I made just for that purpose, but after getting shuffled around six times I lost the connection and almost cried. Almost.
Microsoft sent me a note saying they couldn’t verify my information and to submit another form. Basically it wanted me to once again say I didn’t know anything it was asking for one more time. Like maybe I’d suddenly remembered an old password that I never had in the first place. Yes, I need a better password system. I know.
I filled out the form anyway only to get a message saying I’d used up all my attempts. Try again in 24 hours. So, if you hear a scream coming from the southeastern corner of the country, it’s probably me.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Ain’t technology wonderful!

Ugh! What a pain for sure. Maybe once you get everything back you turn around and ditch Word for another writing platform? Or keep a book of passwords glued to your person 24/7 🙂

Some days as Wc Fields once said, the lord pisses you from a great height, put up your brolley and keeep walking. If needbe can you set up another account and cut paste your docu into it? Or will setting up another then negate the esixting one?
