Fifi's Thoughts 11/20/2008 2:08:08 PM
FOR SURE FOR SURE I THOUGHT I KILLED IT I thought it was dead. I thought I killed it. I thought OMIGOD I'M GONNA HAVE TO LIVE AT KINKOS FROM NOW ON AND SPEND A TON OF MONEY ON THEIR COMPUTERS BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW ONE. I thought I killed my laptop for sure.
I WAS JUST GETTING THE SO FRUSTRATED. THE SLOW............. HOURGLASS. THE CONSTANT CONSTANT........... 'GETTING STUCK IN CYBERSPACE. FINALLY IT HAPPENED. MY FRUSTATION JUST BOILED OVER. IT JUST.......... DISCONNECTED ON ME ON WHEN I WAS WRITING A REAL LONG TIME CONSUMING EMAIL TO A FRIEND. I MEAN A LONG TIME CONSUMING THING. YOU KNOW THAT DARN AOL 'INSTALL STUFF LATER' SIGN CAME UP WHICH I SAYS 'I'M DISCONNECTED. TEEHEEHEEE. YOU LOST ALL THAT WORK GIRL'. YOU PEOPLE WHO NO LONGER WRITE PONY EXPRESS TYPE LETTERS.....WELL....SOMETIMES YOU CAN SEE THE ADVANTAGE.......MY CHAKRAS TURNED ALL RED. MY PRIMITIVE BRAIN JUST EXPLODED. MY OTHER TWO BRAINS TOLD MY PRIMITIVE BRAIN "NO NO NO IT'S NOT WORTH SPENDING ANOTHER FIVE OR SO HUNDRED BUCKS AND LOSING IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN YOUR HARD DRIVE JUST BECAUSE OF SOME LOST EMAIL." "'IT' (THE MACHINE)" my left brain told my primitive brain, "IS JUST TEASING YOU. THESE THINGS DO THAT TO PEOPLE TO SEE HOW PATIENT THEY ARE. THEY SLOW DOWN THEIR PROCESSORS ON PURPOSE TO SEE HOW EVEN TEMPERED PEOPLE ARE. IT IS JUST TELLING THAT YOU MAY NEED TO CLEAN OUT ALL THAT GOBLEYGOOK SPYWARE THAT GETS INTO IT EVERYDAY."
It was too late however. My primitive brain just ignored my two rational brains and the next thingI knew I heard the WHACK sound of my right fist as I pounded on the keyboard. And it just died. I got out of my chair, took a deep breath, kept on plugging the power chord on but it still wouldn't come back to life when I put the switch on. No lights, no whistles, no desktop icons, nothing.
So I thought it was dead. I thought well for sure I cracked the hard drive when I hit the laptop. I thought I'm gonna have to contact people by pony express mail or I'm gonna have to go to Kinko's. I thought I'm gonna have to save all my pennies for like six months or so before I can get a new one. BUT ONE THING I WAS NOT GONNA DO IS TAKE ANY ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES EVEN THOUGH MY 2 'ADVANCED BRAINS' RECOMMENDED IT. NO I LISTENED TO MY PRIMITIVE BRAIN WHICH JUST TOLD ME 'FIFI GIRL YOU DID THE RIGHT THING. THAT 'THING' WAS CONSTANTLY TESING YOU. ALWAYS THE LONG HOUR GLASS. ALWAYS DISNCONNECTING ON YOU AT TIMES. GIVING YOU ERROR MESSAGES AT TIMES AND SAYING WE NEED TO CHECK YOUR C DRIVE WHILE YOU TYPING IMPORTANT DOCUMENTATION. JUST SAVE THOSE PENNIES FOR A NEW LAPTOP THAT WON'T PLAY GAMES WITH YOU LIKE THIS ONE DID."
Anyways I was just disconnect the darn thing and put in the closet with a few of my other 'dead computers' which would either be eventually ne taken to the Goodwill (If they are willing to fix it) or the dumpster when my right brain said "FIFI GIVE IT ONE MORE SHOT."
