My laptop charger felt it time to go into early retirement. I discovered this at the best moment- when the “battery power is 10%” notification popped up. I quietly shut down the laptop and stared for a moment and then complained to Mr. Man who graciously tried to see if any life was left. There was none. I was super bummed. Just a couple days earlier my Blackberry decided it needed a break from active working life so I had comforted myself with the fact that I still had my laptop. Actually, taking some time off of BBM was quite appealing to me, threats from friends aside. I initially had budgetary concerns that influenced my decision to take a small break and then I started thinking I should extend my leave and sell my phone. My phone made the next move by going “Ha! I’ll show you! I’ll leave you before you can dump me”. Who knew phones could be so spiteful?
So here I was, lost in the world. Frustrated because I am
one of those people that believe that things should work for the purpose(s) for
which they were created or be removed from my presence (sometimes violently. J I kid about that part
but I do think it). I much prefer when they do the former. Mr. Man said this is
good for me ‘cause I’d get back to--- I honestly cannot remember what positive
thing he said would come out of this. I must have repressed it due to trauma.
