Computers and other things that cause insanity

Tagged:

I was so proud to find myself no longer a computer virgin after finishing my class and receiving an A. Granted, the final exam took six hours to complete while the other students were out of there in five hours and forty minutes but I left exuberant. I spent the summer break improving my eye to hand skills playing computer games. Unfortunately I did not increase my eye to brain but I was n a roll.
The fall semester was my comeuppance as the computer had taken over control and I was left in the role of subservient by stander. Obviously, there was a breakdown in communication and I was willing to play nice and speak with my inside voice instead of hurling insults at the screen but like a bad marriage it failed. I begged and pleaded to no avail. All of my best work went away before I could hit send, save or submit. Today alone I have almost completed four blogs on this website and all four have been lost before I could send my work. This particular website has replaced my work in progress with returning to the home site, information concerning parts of this competition or my most favorite, nothing. I have blogged on alcoholism, sexist practices, and the government and only two are accounted for. I had noticed this trend in writing e-mails, applications on the internet and other blogging experiences but never has frequently as this contest.
Every e-mail that I have regretted sending arrived to their destination without me even hitting send. All of the loving, hilarious or thoughtful ones gave no thought when they left me with a blank page or a refused delivery. My anxiety level rises towards the end of a blog as I have been here before.
