Help! My Computer Screen Just Turned Sideways!

Do not panic! Houston, we’ve got a problem! But thankfully Google had the answer. I was in the middle of a transcription job; on my last hour of six hours of transcription, when low and behold I pressed some odd combination of keys and my screen turned sideways! What the heck is going on here?! I didn’t know what combination of keys I pressed, nor did I know what combination of keys to press to fix the problem. So I thought okay. Turn it off and back on. That usually fixes a problem. I turned it off and on….screen was still sideways. Okay, Evelyn. Don’t panic. You got this. While I’m trying to figure out what to do, I’m beginning to get a crook in my neck, and I’m thinking, “I can’t possibly finish this job with my head turned like this, ” but I would have if I had to. Whatever it takes to get the job done, right? Thankfully, I was able to get to the Internet and Google “Help! Screen went sideways,” and whoo hoo, a solution was just a click away. Should this happen to you, press Control, Alt and the Arrow up key and you’re back in business. Google is MY FRIEND!

I don’t normally panic easily, but with a looming morning deadline, I must admit I was beginning to panic just a wee bit. Good news is I learned something new today. Bad news is…well, luckily in this scenario, there wasn’t any really bad news. What did we ever do before the Internet and Google?

Well let me jump back on that deadline. I just had to share. Remember Ctrl + Alt + Arrow up.
