I'm the gremlin in the system. It doesn't matter what system. Any system. I've had more trouble than most when it comes to paying council tax, booking flights, checking into a hotel, logging in to a computer, installing software, using software, getting a SIM card for a phone, cancelling a SIM card for a phone and transferring stores with my job. To name but a few things. Whilst I have come to expect it (and can therefore deal with it well) there are times when it gets too much and I just want to do something else.
This morning, although small, I've found myself getting very angry and frustrated that I can find no tablet that works with my computer. I've seen everyone else using the same tablets on their computers with no problems, but when I try to run the drivers to use it, no dice. The automated install that happens when I plug it into the USB port didn't work. The website designed to provide drivers to install to run the tablet provides the software but the computer won't run it. When I try to open and run it in a different way, I'm told that I can't because I'm not a freakin' administrator.
And of course this doesn't happen on a day when there's a lecturer free to give me a hand. No. There's a single lecturer in here and they are overseeing at least 40 people.
I guess I'm colouring in with a mouse this morning.
Peace.
