, also known as Michelle Tuesday, is a musician, educator and writer hailing from Columbus, Ohio.

La Bene Vita

I am a professional musician

, worship leader

, small business owner

, songwriter

, aspiring author

and freelance nonfiction writer

with a chemical engineering degree

.

But that's just my resume.

My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

Wow, that was actually pretty good! It goes to show how humanity has always been the same and God has His hand in everything... Or something

Thanks for sharing!

I'll be more impressed if Michelle can walk, chew gum, and whistle without swallowing the gum all at the same time.

Even better if she can whistle to the tune of Mozart or something.

Hmmm... if I ever finish that story I was writing which was my first attempt to write a novel, I will definitely ask you what you think of it.

Michelle, if you ever write your story, I wanna read it.

In response to "Story idea and my thoughts on Heaven and Hell"

It's certainly a thing to write about things you don't believe in. For instance, I reject the idea of the supernatural, but it's interesting enough that I've written fiction featuring it. But the problems with writing about "perfect" places are well-documented; it's tough to introduce conflict into a utopia, but it has been done. The enduring popularity of Star Trek is one example.

To address your specific situation: maybe perfection includes incorporating apparent imperfections in order to make things interesting. Like how Lucifer's fall, and Adam and Eve's for that matter, were actually all part of the Plan. After all, if God could be surprised, He wouldn't be omniscient, would He? And if Heaven's perfect, then doesn't that mean that the residents' supposed free will has been taken away, and isn't that a contradiction?

One superpower we have as humans is to imagine the impossible.

I know I'm saying all this as an outsider, so take it as you will. And you know me well enough, I hope, to know that I'm not saying any of this to be hurtful or obnoxious.

Oh, and Elycia Lee ☮, it's possible to be both a scientist and a musician. Brandiwyn🎶Prep starts 10/1! can walk and chew gum at the same time.

You are a scientist? I thought you are a musician.

Writing a story that involves God, heaven, hell, and angels are to me one of the most difficult stories to write especially if you want to be factually right.

I tried and fell flat on my face. Good luck. I really do like the idea of angels getting promoted... your arguments are valid too...

Thursday

It's just not even fair that my laptop is still broken, because Textbroker is bursting at the seams with open orders.

Saturday. At least, that's when the appointment is scheduled. We'll see if the part he's installing (he didn't tell me what it is) solves the problem. I just heard from the service tech about thirty minutes ago, while the email below was sent seven hours ago. *kicks the shit out of Dell*

I'm going to a thing tonight anyway, so I guess I couldn't write Textbroker articles tonight even if I had my laptop. See y'all next year.

"Why have I not heard back from a service technician? As you can see from the timeline I've established below, I've hardly received the "next business day, includes nights/weekends" service on my faulty laptop that I paid for with my extended warranty. I've gone TEN DAYS without a laptop, and now I'm approaching another holiday weekend, do I have to wait until Monday again? I had much work to accomplish this week, and I've been unable to do almost anything.

My warranty description:
Description Provider Warranty Extension Notification Start Date End Date Days Left
Next Business Day, Includes Nights/Weekends QLX No 7/25/2009 7/24/2011 570
XPS Technical Support DELL No 7/25/2009 7/24/2011 570

The timeline of my repair issue:

Dec. 21th:
3:00pm - I looked up warranty information and chatted online with Ashley, who instructed me to backup and run a hardware diagnostic check, and email the results to his manager.
4:30pm - I emailed the diagnostic check results to Ashley's manager.

Dec. 22st:
4:00pm - I emailed Ashley's manager again, because 24 hours have gone by and I haven't heard from Dell.
4:30pm - I received a phone call from Ashley, who said that the diagnostic results indicate I need a new hard drive, which will be imaged and shipped ASAP. I was cautioned that I might not be guaranteed delivery before the holiday weekend, because it was already Dec. 23rd (due to time zone difference) where the hard drive was being shipped from.

Dec. 24th:
I received the hard drive via Fed Ex, pleased to have received it before the weekend. However, I installed it per instructions, and experienced the same symptoms I'd described originally: no boot, and the screen is black with vertical colored lines appearing. I immediately sent an email to Ashley's manager indicating that the hard drive didn't solve the problem. I was told by the rep that he was the only person in the office, and that I would receive a call on Monday (Dec. 28) at 9:00am my time as a follow-up.

Dec. 28th:
11:00am - I still have not heard from Dell. I sent an email asking the status, and received a call within 30 minutes from Ashley, who informed me that a service technician would contact me within the next day or two, to schedule a time to come to my home and repair my laptop.

Dec. 31st:
9:00am - Three days have passed, and I still have not heard from a service technician.

Thanks for your prompt attention in this matter."
