Stop Trying To Be Funny

"Hey, IT Guy. I guess I was wrong when I said my computer was all set up. I'm getting an error when I try to start up HomeSite."

"Oh, so you lied."

"Ha, I guess so. Sorry about that."

"So do you like being a liar?"

"Not particularly, ha ha. Sorry. Do you know what I could do to fix this?"

"Here's what you do. You close your eyes real tight and count to 100, and when you're done it might be fixed. And you have to stretch your arms way up to the ceiling so the magic computer energy gets channeled into your machine."

"Ha ha. Any way other than that?"

"Well, you could throw a five dollar bill down here on my desk and I bet it'll get fixed right quick."

"Um, given the option, I think I'd have to go with closing my eyes real tight."

"Oh, really."

That was the end of the conversation. He is still sitting at his desk and I still cannot use the program I need. I think he was TRYING to be funny and is unaware that he failed.

In other news, I am, at long long last, financially solvent once again. I just ate a chicken sandwich with avocado and balsamic-vinegar-onions. My stomach owes my wallet a profound debt of gratitude.

Beyond that news, I am profoundly tired and cannot wait for this "moving" ordeal to be finished. At least I have "The Teaches of Peaches" to keep me entertained.
