Update resister

I have no ex and only a vague idea of what Instagram is, but when I saw this New Yorker cartoon, I felt an immediate kinship with Liz.

Call it a fear of change if you must, or passive aggression; in any case, I am a confirmed "update" resister. I like my gadgets just the way they are and and every time my machines try to coerce me into something new (and probably confusing) I look the other way.

I've found that if I keep stalling - if I keep promising to take action at a later date, but never do - the nagging eventually goes away.

Literally half an hour before I can do with my last steps.

Yeah so I restarted at 7.10pm. It's now 8.30pm 😫

In that hour I've been binge watching Jeoprady while browsing Amazon and my browsing turned into buying and I bought some skin care products and also might have purchased 'The Smoke' 🤐 - woopsy... I have no regrets. None at all. I actually like the series, wish there had of been another.

As soon as my computer decides to hurry up and update itself, I shall update the story.

I must not go near eBay in the mean time - dangerous place eBay!

I FINALLY get a chance to write again and my laptop has been begging me to restart itself and give itself an update. I gave in and now it has been on 0% for ten minutes. I probably won't write a word tonight.

I was writing Part 21 of the End of the World and my computer decided to push into an update without warning. Literally just shut off. No prompts. And now I can’t open the file I was working on because it’s corrupted and repairs don’t work.
