I Hate Technology
My laptop seems to have caught a flu. Or some such disease. It won't let me use Word. Or rather, it will let me open a document and use it for approximately 15 seconds before it crashes, again and again. I'm a writer. I don't ask for much in the way of applications. I ask for Word. Take PowerPoint! Take Quick Time! Take Final Draft! Anything but Word.
It's on days like this that I parrot my friend Maggie and say, "Ugh. What have computers done for me lately?"
Come back, Word. Please?

Obviously you haven't offered up a sacrifice! Never diss machines that can delete your bank balance with a single mouse-click. Burn incense and click your heels together three times while pressing ctrl-alt-delete. Or, fill bathtub with gin, toss computer in, let soak, throw computer away and drink gin!
