When Did I Become Such A Geek
“I should say here, because some in Washington like to dream up ways to control the Internet, that we don’t need to ‘control’ free speech, we need to control ourselves.” — Peggy Noonan
Hubby went out with the boys yesterday and came home with my our brand new laptop! It felt like Christmas, my birthday and July 4th all in one day. See, we still don’t have our computer back. Last week, a friend of mine referred to Best Buy as The Evil Empire. I like it. I’m going to use it. Actually, I just did use it, but I’m going to use it again. But enough about that, for now.
I’m not sure why hubby decided to bestow this wonderful new gift on me our family, and frankly, I don’t care. I was going nuts without a computer. I was seriously jonesing. I’m talking about pawning-my-great-grandmother’s-heirloom-jewelry-for-a-few-hours-on-the-internet- jonesing. I was using several times a day, at the library and my sister’s house, but it isn’t the same. It’s much better to have full access to your own computer 24/7 than to have to settle for an hour here or there. I can’t believe what a junkie/geek I have become! In my defense, I am looking for a job so the internet is an absolute necessity for job searching (while also sending bumper stickers and playing mob wars on Facebook – isn’t that what tabs are for – multi-tasking??!!).
Now that I think about it, I suspect that my sister probably had something to do with this. I’m sure she was sick of me tying up her computer for hours on end (she’s almost as big a geek as I am). I don’t really care. I’m just happy to have my our new laptop! But I do wonder what she threatened him with…
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi, i remember losing my internet service two weeks before a move and FREAKED out at 11:30 on a friday night, while i tried to get access to the internet. i then realized this might be a sign that i have no life
not really, but it was an important moment.
thanks for being an interested reader!
