Scares of Technology

Hey!!

How is everyone? Anyone try out Gravity yet? If so, share your experience with me! I have way too much on my plate at the moment, and portions for Gravity are being pushed to the side! Lets live through you guys! LOL!

So are you wondering why I came up with this title? It is because I almost died because of it!! Haha! I was typing away, happy that I will be finally done one more report. Yes, I get extremely happy with the little things in life! However, who would have known that my happiness would come crumbling down faster than a crepe!!!

All of a sudden out of nowhere, the document shut on me. I did not panic and die just then. Come on, a little faith please? LOL! I was calm and thought it must have just stopped responding; happens to the best of us. I just went into my folder and tried opening it, but it would not open. Now the dread was seeping into me, but I reasoned that the computer must just be slow.

So I wait. Two minutes go by.Five minutes and panic is settling itself in its' new home - my composure. But wait, what if I restart the laptop? Aahh, Simmi you are a genius! Right? I restart it, and you know when you want something to happen quickly but it takes its' time? It seems like time is mocking you, and you cannot do anything but wait.

I wait.

After what seemed like forever, my beautiful desktop picture flashed before me. However, even my beautiful desktop picture would not push the dread trying to explode inside me. My folder would now not open. Can the day have started any nicer? Finally, it did open and I could breathe. No, wait, I could not breathe! The document would not open! No!!!!! Oh wait, it opened. But all of my work has vanished!

I had been working on it since last Thursday, 30 odd pages! Ready to cry right when I realize that I have two documents opened. I click on the second one, and what do I see? The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life - my report. The feeling of relief could not be as delicious as I tasted at this moment. I can live another day.

What did I learn from all of this? Always make sure you don't have two documents open! Oh and in these situations, remember to breathe. Thanks to the Yoga classes that I did for helping me breathe! Remember to go to the diaphragm!

Other than this excitement, life is pretty uneventful. I come to work around 7ish so I can go home an hour early. Why? Well I have an exam coming up, so need to study for that. For the past couple of weeks, and the weeks to come, my day looks like this:

a. Work by 7ish
b. Home by 3ish
c. Relax for about an hour
d. Start studying for a few hours (in between have dinner)
e. Bed by 11pm

Actually, I prefer this mundane life to the excitement of today anyday! Haha!

Hope everyone has a technological friendly day ahead of them!
Simmi
