Chapter 58.75: Wake Up Computer!


I don't expect the world to follow my schedule, but I do expect my accessories in life to do what they're supposed to do. So I was kinda pissed this morning when my laptop decided that it needed to wait until its user had two cups of coffee before it would work at a decent speed. I don't know about these recalcitrant contraptions. I know it needs to do a virus scan every once in a while, but dammit, it's 7:15 a.m. and I need the computer to work with a tired user. Why is it moving so frigging slow?!

An hour and a couple restarts later, the thing is back to its old self. I can't say the same for me.

Chapter 54.7: Here Comes the Sun

As I arrived at Hoboken station this morning, the Beatles' Here Comes the Sun began playing over the loudspeaker. Most days there is no music whatsoever on the platform, save the scant whispers coming out of other people's iPods as I pass them.

I don't know why the George Harrison song was in the air, but for the ninety seconds or so that it took me to get from one end of the platform to the PATH trains, I was pleased and amazed and happy.
