It would come as a surprise to me if I find myself alive 50 years from now. That is because I would be just a little more than 100 years old. That isn’t impossible, just unlikely. I do want to make the best of those years past 50 however. And I don’t think that includes sitting at the computer doing software things for almost five hours.
Basically what happened is that I upgraded my operating system a few weeks ago. I began having more problems than I ever had before, so I decided to do a total installation of the OS this morning. If I had a little more physical pain the task would have been slightly more uncomfortable than having a tooth filled without novacain.
I am convinced that the people who design software stay up late at night trying to devise methods leading to befuddlement and eventually rage for those who use their products. I am not a patient man and it seems the older I get the less patience I have. That kind of makes me wonder if I will reach a point in life where I have absolutely no patience at all?
“Here check my groceries out you young whippersnapper before I beat you to oatmeal consistency with my cane!” I can just imagine saying. God help the motoring public if that happens. An old man full of rage who can’t drive for shit.
Perhaps I have wandered over the yellow line a bit but I just feel I could be doing so much more than spending hours on end installing and uninstalling computer programs. Which reminds me, I still need to download WMP and Adobe Acrobat. So I’ll say: “Ta.” And stay out of my way when you see me on the roadway. Time’s a-wasting.
