EVERY time I fly back to sunny Spain to spend a week of quality time with my Dad, I end up spending a day or so fixing his computer.
He knows I've always been 'into' computers, and thinks I enjoy it - he can't see why my temperature should so rise when 'just' fixing his WiFi or de-slogging his drives or ..like last time, [the bastard].. preparing the touchscreen laptop he'd just bought FROM EBAY (!) - the full shebang - check for faults, install windows, install networking and software.. I mean, wtf? That's literally hours worth of slog.
That time, I couldn't work out something to do with his router and I utterly blew my top - to which he THEN came in and innocently states "Can't work it out, son? I thought you were goo.." &%%%*& OF COURSE I CAN'T WORK IT OUT YOU C*NT - HOW THE FUCK IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO SO THOUROUGHLY MISTREAT A COMPUTER?! DID YOU NOT READ THE 5 PAGES OF HANDWRITTEN A4 INSTRUCTIONS I LEFT LAST TIME, COVERING EVERY EVENTUALITY IMAGINABLE? DO YOU EVEN APPRECIATE HOW HARD IT IS FOR SOMEONE OF MY GENERATION TO WRITE BY HAND ANY MORE - AND YOU'VE JUST DUMPED THAT SHIT IN THE FUCKING DRAWER? AM I ADOPTED? PLEASE TELL ME i'M ADOPTED, SO I CAN LEGITIMATELY STRIKE YOU DOWN WHERE YOU STAND!
*Och't - that was a shit read, but a highly cathartic write.
