Love or Hate?
Everyone tells me I will love having a laptop. I was happier without one.
My library is moving. It will be closed for six to eight weeks. A laptop is necessary to keep up my website, GR and Pinterest.
So I have a laptop, a new laptop.
It hates me.
I am coming to hating it back.
It sits there happily talking to itself and sites online for updates. It isn't online, it tells me.
It sits there ignoring anything i ask it to do.
It gobbles up my time as the librarians and I try to cajole it into behaving, then laughs at our efforts.
And continues to sit there talking to itself.
The next step is tech support, or so I'm told. Except I'm not online at home where my phone is. I don't have a cell phone as the house is in a dead zone. And tech support will tell me I have to have Internet access available before they can help me.
My laptop is laughing at me.
I hate it. I need it to work. I have three days before the library closes.
Panic.
