Have you had your daily glass of whine?

I don't only abuse computers, I sit on children:


I hate computers. They never do what they are supposed to do. Of course, there is always an amount of human error to be factored in....but even on the off-chance that I do something completely correct, they still spaz out on me. What's the point of having a computer if you just want to drop kick it into the face of the nearest Geek-Squad Associate 75% of the day? Is it possible for humans to get a computer virus? Cause I think I'm infected.

When it comes to technology- I just don't have patience. I don't want to feel that my "tools" are running my life (if evolution is true, then I think those that remained monkeys are really the intelligent ones- the "finger-toe" is still the most clever tool out there....). Freshman year of college I threw my cell phone out of the fourth floor of my all girls dorm. I really, really wanted to destroy it- to take its life. It landed in the grass (duh, the building was surrounded by grass)- dang things can't even break properly when you want them to.

I was told by an IT guy at work that computers don't get along with anything capable of emotion. At first I thought he was being a smart ass. But, I see he was trying to teach me a lesson in his own little, unimposing way.

What is it about the unrefined wisdom of highschool IT guys that always makes me feel stupid.

IT guy (looking on google earth): "I'm looking for Russian spies in Antartica"
me: "Russia isn't as close to the North pole as people think."

yikes...geography wasn't a requirement for political science majors.......obviously!
