Stalky Against the Machines: Sofa Rage

I'm currently having a moment where technology is driving me fruit loopy.  And I know I shouldn't complain, especially as I'm relying on technology to share this post with you all but honestly, things are about to get thrown.  And I mean big things.  If I could throw a sofa, I probably would.  I like to think of myself as a fairly tech savvy kind of gal but today I've been pushed to the edge by computers and internet connections!  Gah!  I feel much of my frustration comes from having a limited amount of time to do all the things I want to do and realise that the one thing standing in my way of doing all the things I want to do is a stupid internet connection that keeps conking out for no apparent reason.  No apparent reason!  One minute it's connected the next minute that little egg timer appears that tells me my page isn't going to load up.  Gah again!  Now normally I try to solve these things by myself with a bit of restarting the computer etc, etc but today I was straight on the phone to the internet people and was quickly being talked through various processes to try and get things working again.  The thing is, I don't think the woman on the other end of the phone really understood what I was saying and if I'm honest, I don't think I really understood what she was saying either.  And then, just to top it all off, my phone starts beep beepity beeping at me whilst I'm trying to listen to the woman.  And now we all know what beep beepity beep means don't we?  Yes, it's low battery.  And the charger is on the other side of the room.  And the laptop doesn't like to be unplugged because it's battery is old and useless.  So I give the phone a bit of juice to get it going, apologise to the woman who seems very confused by what I'm up to before running over to the other side of the room where the laptop is plugged in and then furiously unplugging random plugs to free up not one but two sockets for my phone charger.  You see, the phone charger is a weird shape and will not, I repeat will not, happily sit in amongst another plug.  Oh no, that beast needs two spaces all for itself.  So I've unplugged God knows what, got the phone charging, got the laptop charging, am sat on the floor talking to the woman and then two minutes later there's a new kind of beeping in my ear and the line goes dead.  I look at my phone in exasperation only to be greeted by a little flashing message advising me that the call has failed.  The call has failed.  Unbelievable.  The wrath of the machines as they once again gang up on me.  It's at this point that I gave up and made myself some beans on toast.  So, if there's an unexpected absence in posts you know it's because various items, including the laptop, have been thrown out the window!
