My Computers Are Revolting!

You may have noticed I’m running late today. Actually, I’m surprised I’m running at all.

Our computer here has done everything in its power to keep me from posting my blog or editing The Wind from Heaven. It’s gone totally haywire. No more Facebook. And just to get on my stats page requires a lot of slippery maneuvers that are hard to remember.

The laptop isn’t messed up yet–only I can’t use that one because it’s taking all morning to install an update.

Yesterday was a hoot. Suddenly my blog posts were all light-blue letters on a grey background–just about impossible to read! That had me climbing the wall. My webmaster out in California fixed it: she had inadvertently changed some things as she went about some cyber-housekeeping chores.

But now our Google search engine won’t search for anything, it’s real hard to see comments on the blog, Facebook postings are now impossible–and I’ve heard from a couple readers that their computers are on strike, too. Refusing to perform basic functions.

Hey! How about this for a fantastic idea? Let’s hook up our cars to be driven by computers!!! Ain’t that a peach? And then we can put computers in charge of our nuclear missiles–what fun! What could possibly go wrong?

WordPress! Grrrr! %$#@#$!

Well, they’re doing it to me again! On our other computer, the laptop, WordPress has decided not to let me post today. All I get is a blank page. Why? Because computers are @#*&$ing unreliable, they never work, they only have to hear it’s the weekend and they go on strike! So I’m typing this on the other computer, which some weeks ago decided not to let me post on Facebook anymore.

Hey, here’s a great idea! Let’s hook our minds up with computers! Then we’ll all be smart!

“Your honor, my client didn’t even know he was stabbing his whole family to death. The computer he was connected to, it had a glitch or something. Or maybe it was doing an update…”

Yesterday the bloody thing was fine. Now it’s not. I hate computers.
