…And I thought it was the internet I hated.
Today, when I arrived at work, I found that I had somehow deleted my Documents folder. I am an administrative assistant. I stored everything in there. My Documents folder is very important. (I run OS X.)
I temporarily allowed SSH access and my smartie husband hopped in my computer to try to figure out if I really had done such a thing. Yes, I did. Fortunately, I made a DVD backup of this directory about 2 months ago. This is not as huge a loss as it could be.
I am not technologically illiterate. I taught myself Photoshop. I did network phone support for two years. I was playing door games in 1993.
The lesson to this story is that computers are sentient, they hate us all, and the battle between evil robots and mankind has already begun.
(Better lesson than, “The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry.”)
The following self-portrait captures how I feel right now, even though a CRT has nothing to do with this unfortunate event at all.
