Who the hell thought it was a good idea to make backspace a keyboard shortcut for back in web browsers?

it's amazing just how capable computers are of RUINING EVERYTHING.

Argh yes - yesterday I had to re-tag a WHOALE LOWDE of Facebook pictures, having nearly got to the end of them all, when a misplaced backspace, arghwhy, took me back to the page before and lost all my tags. RAARGH.

As am I! It turned out that the RUDERY was not the problem as everyone was too drunk to hear them. What was the problem was the simulated orgasm in the second verse which cause QUITE A FEW people to look up. I have the lyrics off by heart :D

I can't even talk about computers. I'd had such a nice working day planned: work from home in the morning, doing some monitoring on the video stream of a committee hearing blah blah blah. Was going to be really nice doing this in relaxed environment, not having to get up early or be stressed, and could write it up while listening to music and generally sorting the flat out. Then come into the office in the afternoon for meetings etc. Of course the video stream decided not to work (it always used to!) and my housemate's computer wouldn't even connect to the internet for NO REASON and I spent three hours getting increasingly angry and panicky, and that work still isn't done and I have no idea when it's going to get done unless I stay in the office until, like, midnight. THANKS A FUCKING BUNCH, TECHNOLOGY. On the one day I needed it to work.
