this and that
So, I get into the library and find an empty computer. The only empty computer. Of course, it isn't turned on.
Boastful self: Heh. Their loss. An intelligent person might think about turning it on.
Cynic: It's probably broken. Maybe the intelligent people think it might be off for a reason.
Logic: Why don't we try it.
Me: *pushes button*
Nothing happens
Cynic: told you so.
Wounded pride: Hey now, no call for that. We might try checking the plug.
Me: *looks* How about that? It's not plugged in.
Boastful: See. What'd I tell you, the people on campus are so lazy they don't even bother to check the plug.
Cynic: Again. It might be for a reason. If the computer were working, don't you think it'd be turned on?
Boastful: *ignores*
Me: *Plugs in computer* Look, it runs! Yay.
3 minutes later.
Me: goodness, I might have been better off simply waiting for a different, faster computer.
*Logs in and exits out of virus scanning software that I curse because it is sllloooow*
Boastful: Still. It runs fine. I don't know why it wasn't plugged in.
*Sun hits*
Cynic: Great. You've got your computer. Plus 90 degrees.
Wounded pride: So it's hot. At least I've got a computer.
Cynic: Indeed. Still, there are many others around now.
Me: *looks around* True. The rush for computers seems to be over.
5 minutes pass.
Mouse starts to drag.
I'm sweating from heat.
Mouse completely dies.
Me: Perhaps we should get a different computer.
Wounded Pride: NO! We should get the mouse from the other computer that isn't working.
Cynic: *rolls eyes* great idea.
*we do*
-_-' So here I am. Proud as ever, hot as ever, with my working computer that other students were too lazy to get.
Cynic: *sarcasm* Score me.
Boastful self: Heh. Their loss. An intelligent person might think about turning it on.
Cynic: It's probably broken. Maybe the intelligent people think it might be off for a reason.
