Mmmm...broken parts
So delays in posting, an extended absence, and a ton of computer airouts later, I’m back online. To a geek, having an issue with your computer is like having a problem with a limb. You know it’s a little bit busted, and you try to get it to work, but it’s just not the same as actually having it 100% in working order. Having a geek without the real use of their computer is just not fun at all.
So it was with a little bit of worry that I poked and prodded away at my machine in an effort to fix the fact that it was crashing worse than the stock market has in America the last few days (oops). Still, though, I actually did get some work done without being at the computer.
That pile of dishes that had piled up for when I decided not to have takeout or pizza? Taken care of.
That thing where I let my DVR fill to the point where it creaked under the weight of unwatched shows? Polished and deleted (thanks Lost).
And what about that idea that I might need a little social interaction between that thing I do to actually get paid to do and sleeping? Yeah, I went out a few times. It’s not so bad once you get past the fact that you stop screaming about failing to update your Facebook.
Sure, being separated from your working rig might seem like separating a heroin addict from their latest and best fix. Yeah, the detox of a de-technifying is probably worse than the worst of the flushing of sweet sweet drug high from your system. But youmake the best of it.
Of course, I suppose that the fact that I’m back on the computer and have the internet practically plugged into me means the drug addiction anomaly doesn’t take, but hey – I’m a little rusty and it’s nice to be back around.
