Day 4 of...Well...You Get the Picture

I'm lazy. Get over it.

My Tangent is currently working at maximum capacity. At least I think it is because it sounds like an aircraft carrier with 1,000,000 screaming babies as its cargo. Since I think my computer is on its last life and probably won't last me through the rest of the year, I thought now would be the perfect time to reminisce about all the good times I've had with it the past four years.

I remember the first day of school when they put it in my arms. I took it to my room, set it up, and was amazed. "Wow, this thing is so fast," I said to myself, "I'm going to have this thing forever!" The instant I finished saying that, my Tangent blue screened. That's when I realized my new best friend was going to be nothing but fantastic!

Sophomore year was an incredible time for my Tangent and me. I would have competitions with the roommates to see who's computer would blue screen first any given day. Needless to say, my trusty lappy won no problem most days. If my Tangent was a basketball star, it would be twice as good as Lebron James.

This picture says it all. We loved our Tangents, and no one was going to tell us otherwise! 

Then there was that time junior year when my power cord broke. It cost 70 bones to replace. Considering my Tangent was already two years past its prime (and its ability to work at all), I debated on just getting another computer. But my love for the Tangent won out in the end and I just bought the power cord. That, and the fact that I'm a poor college student who cannot afford to purchase new computers on a whim.

Finally, senior year. The hinges broke and the fan stopped working properly. My computer overheats constantly and the screen will not stand up on its own. In order to type with two hands, it must be firmly propped up against a wall or have really heavy textbooks holding it up. Oh, the harassment I got for those broken hinges. It was so embarrassing taking it to class and having everyone stare at me as I set my Tax and Audit book behind my computer to hold it up. Lest I forget my executive interview with Flyer Enterprises where it was held up by 07-08's fiscal year financial data. That was a good time! Regardless, I loved my Tangent.

But I'm ready for it to die. It's like a rich grandparent who wants to give you his large inheritance but is still living at the ripe old age of 115. Sometimes your welcome is overstayed, and that's how I feel about my Tangent.

RIP Tangent...eventually.

Work was boring again. I'll start updating you again when I actually start doing stuff. Until then, enjoy whatever else I have to say.
