I GIVE UP ON COMPUTERS.
Seriously? Like, they should die. Or something.
It's hilarious how terrible technology's being to me today.
I'm in the middle of a conversation when MSN kills my IM window and tells me that my messages can't be delivered over and over and OVER AGAIN. And so I'm sitting here, smashing on the keyboard and laughing because it's ridiculous, and I woke up at 7:00 this morning, and I'm so bloody tired, and then I accidentally punch in some sort of code, and everything freezes and the hourglass pops up, and there's a moment of silence punctuated by the grinding of the CPU, and I'm like, 'OH SHIT, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!' and then five million messages burst onto the screen about e-mails I've received in the past two seconds, and how that invitation to start an MSN Voice Conversation that I never sent (purposely, anyway) failed (what a tragedy), and I'm dying of laughter like a complete psycho, so I open up LJ to paste the conversation (or lack thereof) as evidence so when somebody blames me for ignoring them, I can prove that I wasn't, and the little, 'Restore Last Saved Draft?' prompt comes up, and I'm like, "Wha-? There was no Last Saved Draft," and click on it because I'm curious, and NOTHING HAPPENS, THE LAST SAVED DRAFT WAS A BLANK SCREEN, WHICH IS COMPLETELY POINTLESS, BECAUSE WHY WOULD I SAVE A BLANK SCREEN, OMG, AND MAYBE THEY DELETED IT, WHICH WOULD JUST BE REALLY DUMB, AND THIS IS A VERY LONG AND UNGRAMMATICAL SENTENCE, SO I WILL STOP NOW.
Point. I'm going spare here. A bit. In a rather amusing sort of way.

[At this point, I attempt to say something, and MSN makes it red and tells me to f-off, more or less. So I shut it down and then sign in again, aaaand...]

Honestly? I was like this crazy German kid. Only there wasn't so much heavy breathing or foaming at the mouth. Or singing. Or German-screaming, but. I swear, the computer really was on the verge of beeping at me. And my laughter was eerily similar.
...What I want to know is who was taping that. And why they didn't just FIX HIS EFFING SYSTEM SO HE'D STOP POPPING BUTTONS OFF THE KEYBOARD.
...
Y'know, watching people freak out like that really makes me feel better. I'm completely calm, now. Hunh.
Anybody speak German? Have a translation? Cos I want it.
P.S.: The fact that I've just wasted the last seven or so years of my life fixing the coding on this entry and it still isn't perfect is just representative of...everything, isn't it?
