Big Wide World

it is a test of my resolve
a test of my patience
a test of my character
a test of my determination
a test of my calm

i started out this evening by writing a post about my recent observance of how a lot my friends are either out of work and looking for it, or looking for a better higher paying job (esp. about those friends who have a post-secondary diploma or two). it was a long post, let me tell you. and then, the worst thing (ok, i'm a drama queen) happened.

MY COMPUTER FROZE. yes, that's right, frozen as in have to reboot and can't salvage
anything i just wrote froze. and obvioulsy, even if i try to remember what i just wrote, i will never remember it (or it won't be as good as it was the first time- now it's forced, blah). so, instead, i want to say:
i hate windows, i have windows, i hate windows, i hate windows. and after the 5th time of it freezing in one day (actually, in like 2 hours), i want to multiply the above by a thousand and add infinity. you're been there, i know you have. at this point i want to:
a) scream
b) pull my hair out
c) chuck the bloody thing out the window
d) have a drink
e) kill bill gates
f) all of the above.

yeah, well, i'm sure you've guessed which one it is. however, i have not done any of this.so instead, i will use my powers forgood useless thought processes.

here it is: i think the perfect interview exercise would be to sit the interviewee in front of a computer, under the pretense of some software exercise, and have the thing crash a couple times, right in the middle of the exercise, so that the person would have to keep starting all over again. it would very adequately illustrate the first four traits that i mentioned. also (i am an evil genius), it would be a great torture exercise (like capturing someone and then sitting them in front of a computer under the pretense that they could try to contact their loved ones thru email, and then having the comp crash every time they get close to almost sending the email-muhahaha). sorry, i'm bored and annoyed, and my brain stopped working and has started focusing all its energy on the emotion of frustration and annoyance. still thinking about opening the balcony door and giving it that old heave/hoe.

p.s to all my friends in search of employment (meaningful and otherwise: chin up young person. i too am on that quest. after 6 yrs of post-secondary i didn't think i'd be here with you, but cest la vie. march on and all those other cliches.
