So, a few days ago I wrote about the frustrations of losing my flash drive and the havoc it is now reeking on my life. If you are a writer that relies mainly on technology to produce your work you know that it can be absolutely devastating when you lose the one piece of technology that hold’s the accumulation of your life’s work. I mean in an instant everything that you have spent your life trying to accomplish can simply vanish leaving you with nothing to show for your blood sweat and tears. So you can imagine my panic and complete and utter frustration when it comes to the missing flash drive that currently contains my entire existence.
They say everything happens for a reason. Now, I don’t know who “they” are but “they” are wrong. I mean what reason could there possibly be for me to lose my flash drive? I mean what greater purpose could that possibly serve? I don’t know if this is just the anger talking but “they” can shove their greater purposes and their “everything happens for a reason” bullshit where the sun doesn’t shine. I just want my flash drive back!
Yes, I do realize I sound like a whiney 5 year old, but I can’t help it I’m a little agitated by this whole predicament I’ve suddenly found myself in.
I suppose every writer will eventually experience something close to this type of predicament. But I really do not find this thought very comforting.
Being an English major I have known a lot of writers and I know that I am not the only one to go through this, and I will most definitely not be the last but it doesn’t make my frustration with the situation go away. I will just have to deal with it. I guess all that I can do is take one day at a time and deal with the crappy life situations as they come.
Thank you for reading my rant and stay tuned!

Here's a picture of me really pissed off after work a few days ago. Don't even ask about the button if you value your life.;)
