What'll I Do When The Computer Quits by Gene K. Garrison Friday, July 27, 2007 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan The title tells it all.
I love my computer, am distraught when it doesn't work. To an optimist, down-time might be an opportunity — time to get something else done. Filing, for instance — all those rejection slips I keep for Uncle Sam, should he ask if I really am a writer. I am, I am. I could show him proof. Naaahhh! I really don't want to file. Let the stack grow to the ceiling. Record-keeping? I don't want to do that either. It's boring, and doesn't bring joy or any other emotion. What else might I do when the computer is down? I know! I could write poetry! I can, can't I?
