#technology hates me

[weepingfoxfury]

The man on the radio is throwing all manner of tunes in our general direction, says there's birthdays for the man and his year of the cat plus we may just head to Barcelona for the other one. Weatherwise things are a little on the damp side, there may be hints of sunshine between the showers or showers between the hints of sunshine ... all things considered, a day for keeping 'the umbrella' close. The traffic lady seems to mention somewhere called Roaches Town where things are bumper to bumper and she may just get thrown off the bus ... somebody call Grace Jones and the Men In Black!

Today's groaner: The owner of a wine shop answers his phone in the middle of the night. A slightly panicky voice on the other end asks, "It's kind of an emergency. When does your shop open?" The owner replies in an exasperated voice, "I just closed half an hour ago. So it won't open till tomorrow morning." Sometime later the owner is woken up with another call, " How long till you open? My need is urgent.", says the same, but slightly inebriated, voice. The slightly puzzled owner replies, "I told you, it won't open till morning." A few hours later there's another call, "When will your shop open?", shouts a drunk voice. The owner, now at the cusp of righteous wrath, shouts back, "For crying out loud! I told you - in the morning! And you don't sound like you need any wine by the way your night's been going, anyway." A slightly puzzled, but heavily intoxicated voice replies, "I've plenty of wine. What I need is a way out from your shop." ;-D badoom tish ... here all week!!

Mostly off planet at this point. You wouldn't believe how much my technology has been against me this morning! Some days I really shouldn't approach my laptop ... or maybe I should just approach it from a completely different angle ... or maybe I just need more coffee. Either way, I'm now going to head away from this little screen and just keep looking out of the window instead. No buttons to press, no notifications, no messages telling me that me and my passwords don't exist. "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that" ... looks like HAL 9000 has found me. ;-)

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday ... Biggest Dog had a good night's sleep and so did we all ... ciao until tomorrow ...

I’m actually writing on my laptop for once because my brain went, ‘you can type faster o your laptop than your phone so you can make more headway while the baby naps’…the laptop keeps lagging, so the letters on the screen are a half a sentence behind what I’m typing. I’m about ready to switch back to my phone lol

I drew this in pencil and was like: Ya know what, this needs big boi material. And got out the big boi material.

Ok, I still don't really know how to ise this thing, but is there a way to track random post I saw on instagram/pinterest whatever??

Because I always find something cool there and I just really want to read all comments/reblogs or whatever it's called here, look at op's page, you know. (Is it called op here? I feel so uncultured lol)

I tried looking for it in the op's feed, but it's always burried gods know where and search bar doesn't do what it is designed to do - search it up for me. It really frustrates me, so any help will be appriciated (if this post reaches anyone, again, idk how to use this app).

would love to someday have a computer that doesn't just turn off for no reason

[theschizotypalsolilquy]

When your phone finally gives out on you, which means you've lost all the fics you downloaded through the years. And as much as you search by title or author, you still can't find them, so you have to go tag by tag or page by page. And then some accounts have been deleted, so their stories are gone. Fuck my life.

and now my switch is doing this

edit: supposedly, the fix for this is to unplug the ac cable from both ends for 30 seconds, but of course that didn't fucking work

I'm trying to post the next chapter of Forbidden, but when I try to paste the text into the post it turns black, someone help 😶

[nerdiel-has-no-braincells]

For real. I’ve broken a couple of computers at work just by sitting down and starting the computer up 🥲

[cutthroatcarnival]

I am avoiding Sonic x Shadow Generations spoilers like the PLAGUE. I have the game, but my Xbox has decided to- unfortunately- shit the bed (it freezes on the start-up screen or just crashes if it even gets past the start-up).

Jesus Christ yall.

If iMessage on your phone is ever being buggy, go straight to Apple.

Verizon's immediate response was that I had to factory reset my phone because iMessage wasn't working with one contact.

Went to Apple, they didn't say that. Miraculously, it fixed itself again, and they gave me the information on how to try and fix it if it happens again, and said they'd escalate to a higher level if the problem occurs again.

I swear. I know it's a silly thing to be so upset over, but my OCD was literally shrieking with rage because it wasn't working and I couldn't fix it and I wanted to text my, for lack of a better term, lover, without the green bubble of death.

I'm so close to turning off discord pings because these notifications have been perpetual zombies for two fucking WEEKS. Stop telling me, discord!! Wtf do you want me to do?????????

[join-the-club-weve-got-jackets]

Over 2 years and 800 restarts, and this app still isn't working any better...

I hate this app. I hate this app. I hate this app.

[nail-bat-butch]

[catdadeddie]

i spend so much time scheduling posts in the way i want them and then they just get stuck and don't post

[rosemarydisaster]

I'm so sorry if you've sent me an ask and I haven't answered, Tumblr was letting me see I had messages but not see the messages.

Anyways it's fixed now.
