Just when you think that you have the "whole rotten system" all figured out ........
I'm not touching any more computers at work. All my attempts last night to edit and correct the errors of others resulted in increasingly complicated errors. I've lost confidence. Kind of like being at the halfway point of a batting slump in baseball where things just continue to get worse. It was like: "What else can I mess up? I don't know what this key or function will do. Maybe I should try it ...... Ooooppppsss. Oh shit!"
And I'm afraid that the resulting email attempting to explain what I did, will only cause more confusion. When I go into a slump, I jump in blindly and deeply.
I may have unknowingly launced a few missiles last night! Maybe set in motion a blackout of New York City. I'm afraid to turn on the news. I might have had more success had I navigated the keyboard with my toes.
Took those three words above, "whole rotten system" from a George Costanza quote in the Seinfeld episode where he was trying to impress a girl on the phone contacted through The Daily Worker personals. It's one of those phrases that just keeps bouncing around in my head. The kind of stuff that I have no problems with remembering.
