A “throw your computer out” day
Simple computer stuff really sucks!
I use Eudora as my email program, both on my desktop machine and laptop, which I keep going side by side for various reasons, and today I had to add another email personality to both machines for magazine management reasons. Four hours later, after enormous frustration and a few breaks to vent steam with a walk down to the chicken coop, I succeeded. There were a few other long-lingering email problems that I also resolved, but basically it was my frustrating inability to deal with simple technology that exhausted me mentally by flat out pissing me off.
But why do I have to deal with technology that can’t be dealt with reasonably? Why doesn’t this stuff just work? Why do you have to be a computer geek on the side just to get your job done? I have other stuff I need to do, and now my day and composure have been wrecked by Eudora’s techno/geek quirkiness. How stupid can this computer technology be!
I’ll tell you what I think! I think we need a “throw your computer through the window” day. I’m so mad I could spit!
