i hate losing things. and i hate having to find it. i think it’s gotta be in my top 5 most hated things. i hate it so much because i can’t just let it be lost. i HAVE to find it. it’s like when you’re in bed and suddenly u hear a buzz next to your ear, and you bounce right up and realise there’s a mosquito in your room, you HAVE to get rid of it. otherwise u risk waking up the next morning with mosquito bites all over you, and a fatter mosquito hiding in your room somewhere laughing at you….
now everybody claims that when you’re not looking for something, it’s usually where you last left it, but when you are looking for it, for some reason it’s not at that spot anymore. so lets summarize the chain of events starting from when you realize you need it, and we’ll call it ‘windows xp installation cd’
1) go to the place where you thought you last placed or seen windows xp installation cd
2) when you can’t find windows xp installation cd in that place, you have a brief ’squint-eye-stroke-chin’ moment, and maybe sweeten it with a light ‘hmmm’ sound
3) you start looking at other places where windows xp installation cd might be, such as your cd rack
4) doubting your first search effort, u go back to the first place and sift through everything more carefully
5) you start looking at more places eventhough they are more unlikely locations where you would find windows xp installation cd
6) if they havent noticed already, u start acting more frustrated and annoyed to grab the attention of your family members so they’ll ask ‘hey, what’s wrong?’
7) after explaining about the lost windows xp installation cd, your family members will join in on the search.
8 ) you start calling people and asking them ‘yo did u take my windows xp installation cd?’
9) without fail, your dad will give u the ‘well if you were more organized, this wouldnt’ve happened’ pep talk, at which point u might want to either 1) accuse somebody of moving your windows xp installation cd, or 2) hang up
10) as u continue your search and begin to realise that the amount of junk you have in your house is a contributing factor to the disappearance of windows xp installation cd, you start throwing junk on the floor so that after the search party is over, you can throw all of that in the trash
11) upon finding things that resemble windows xp installation cd, such as your sister’s ‘Alicia Key’s unplugged’ cd, milliseconds of hope and excitement soon transforms into inconsolable rage against all cds except your windows xp installation cd…. OR vice versa.
12) if you’re lucky, level-headed thinking may deliver you a flashback where you see one of your family member putting your stuff, including your windows xp installation cd, in a box, at another location.
13) finally you find your stupid windows xp installation cd, and stick it in your cd drive so you can get your damn excel file to open once again
so that’s how windows annoyed me today. the automatic update is the most annoying thing in the world. you update stuff and it causes your files not to open unless you have your stupid windows xp installation cd. if u dont update stuff, they guilt trip you by saying ‘your computer will be more vulnerable unless you install updates regularly’. but there you go, lessons learned:
1) it aint your unorganization/disorganization, it’s somebody else.
2) don’t use automatic update….or switch to mac.
