Bad Karma
This is just typical!
When one is about to be isolated one does the sensible thing and stocks up on needs before the isolating event.
So today I set about ordering groceries, medical stuff and shit like that. I also have to make sure all deliveries come this week. Off I goes on my quest to fill the house with vitals and victuals.
And what happens?
My fucking laptop starts playing silly buggers.
People who use WIndoze are presumably aware of this phenomenon where a computer takes on a mind of its own and fucks up, crashes or just locks solid, but take it from someone who knows – this is a very rare phenomenon in Linux. And that makes it all the more infuriating just when I’m in the middle of something that has to be done today and not next week. The damn thing either suddenly goes on an interminable go-slow or locks up altogether which means a reboot. That is not something you want in the middle of a large grocery order?
I don’t know what I have done to deserve this. Have I pissed off some deity or other? Has someone cast a curse on me? In my world anything is possible.
I suppose I had better reload the system.
Or something.
Fuck! Now it’s refusing to post this.
I’m too tired for this shit.
Thou shalt obey the Windoesn’t mantra.
Thou shalt Save often and frequently.
Thou shalt be prepared to press the sacred ON/OFF Button for at least 6000 milliseconds, and press again for one second. But but blessed is he who disconnects all external memory.
Nevertheless the Dreaded Update will set at naught all your efforts at celerity.
Time for some meditation and the imbibing of sanctified Jamiesons. Or Blackbush.
Uhmmmmm.
But I am a follower of The Great Lord Torvalds, and my faith keeps me strong.
And it came to pass that I arose again after my death by Hard Boot. My faith upheld my beliefs an lo – nothing was lost.
And the multitudes did rejoice and imbibed in a feast of Jamesons.
All Praise Linus!
