Day 159 - Computers
Jun. 8th, 2009 11:19 pmDear Boss and Co-worker
Computers are boxes filled with bits and bobs that hopefully will do what you want if you poke the right keys. They are NOT slobbering monsters lying in wait on the corner of your desk, ready to ravage you at a moment's notice. Neither are they cunning strategists, plotting to irritate and confound you.
At least not yet.
If a program doesn't work properly, it is because you have forgotten how to use it. If you can't find a file, it is because you have forgotten where you put it. Computers are inanimate. It does no good to heap insults and curses upon their plastic heads. I, however, am not and have no desire to listen to your ranting and raving or watch you foam at the mouth. Trust me. Letting an object beat you does not put you in the best light.
Also, I am not a computer technician, but you insist on putting me in that position through your mind boggling ability to be lazy. Hence forth, every time you ask me to do something computer related for you, I will give you a bill. Perhaps I'll even give you a William.
Yours in annoyance...
