Mac Hell
What does spring break mean for grad students? It means now you don't have class so you have even more time to do work. But the best part is that they give us ridiculous assignments but no resources to back it up. I just spent over 6 hours in the comp lab until I got kicked out since they're barely open for spring break...yet I'm expected to have this stuff finished. I have never been so frustrated with computers, screw it, I'm going to say it, I HATE macs!!!! I hate them. I crashed 12 mac's today, 12, and they were all different ones too! Some I was only on them for a few minutes and they would just die. Makes things so easy when you tried out some stuff and didn't have time to save before they froze up too! Ugh, apparently some of the instructional programs I needed weren't on all the computers, in fact one of the comp lab aides told me that it would be only on one computer but they had no clue which one. So I got to go around looking for the programs I needed on every single mac. The frustration was even better when this girl Patty (never stops talking and never lets you get a word in) showed up and apparently she has the same class but different section. Yeah, they're behind us so she was working on a project that I had due last week already. She would not stop hounding me, holy crap, try it out yourself! I spent soo many hours on that same project myself learning everything on my own. Then when I had to move to the far end computers, she would scream for me across the room. To top it off, an undergrad came in and he was asking me all about these database things...can people not read facial expressions anymore? I was steaming full of frustration, why would I want to take what little time I have to help you? Of course I can't be mean and I just quickly gave a little help but I just couldn't stop the 2 from harassing me. Oooh the best part, my favorite aspect of a mac, that freaking beeping sound it makes, even when you don't do anything!! It's like the mac is prematurely ejaculating, nothing touches it and yet it goes boom! Yes, that was a sick comparison but I am so aggravated right now that I can't even think normally! In that whole room, you would just hear the 3 of us randomly shouting, "Shit, fuck, what the hell, why is it beeping when I didn't even touch it!!" Seriously, why does it beep so much? It feels like someone is taking a dentist's drill and sticking it into your head when you hear that sound. I was envisioning myself setting fire to all the macs or taking the keyboard and smashing it into the monitor. I swear, mac frustration can be worse than road rage.
