5.24 Pain - Technology Woes

Bestest Friend and I are in the middle of a blog project. Each day of the month we will post a picture on a pre-determined theme and write a little something about it. The theme for the twenty-fourth day of each month is "Pain."
****************************
Do you know how many times I saw THIS today?

More times than can be counted on both of my hands.  And that was all before 11:30 this morning.

Technology failures (neither my email nor the course management system were working this morning and my desktop was freaking out about something) were a standard for me this morning and even right now, as I type this, I can't get my email account to let me send attachments and it's possible that I'm gritting my teeth and just barely preventing myself from screaming. Eventually I just manually shut down my desktop at school and came home. Fuck it all.

What a pain in the ass.

It's a strange problem to have. I'm lucky to have access to this technology at all, but my job requires me to use technology and when it's not my fault I can't do my work, it just pisses me off.  I have a headache now and I'm going to take some Advil and down a gallon of water and when I come back to my computer, everything better be working appropriately or I'm going to do some physical damage.
