Technology and I do not mix.

I do not like technology, or, rather technology does not like me. Technology annoys me. If the device I am using does not do what I want then I get quite irritated. I also suck at fixing any sort of problems, learning anything new and well, doing anything really.

This morning I had to take photos of some documents on my phone to send off for a course I am doing. That sounds simple right? It should be simple but this is me and I have an unfortunate habit talent for making even the most simple tasks quite complex. So I got my birth certificate to take a photo of it.

Taking a photo of an inanimate object should be incredibly simple right? And it was simple, if you know if you consider taking 100 million photos to get one that is not blurry is simple. I got agitated. I decided I cannot possibly do this course if I cannot do something as simple as take a photo.

I was also supposed to take a photo of two other documents. I didn't. My will had been broken from attempting to take a photo of the first document, so i made a coffee and played Candy Crush instead. I told myself that I would just have a coffee then continue with photographing the documents. That was at 9am. It is now midday. I may have been distracted by another piece of technology, my laptop.

The stupid windows on my stupid laptop decided it needed to update just as I was playing candy crush doing something incredibly important, so I had to then wait with as much patience as possible for windows to update, while drinking more coffee. I would also like to mention that after windows had updating it changed absolutely nothing on my laptop so I am unsure why I needed the update in the first place, I am convinced my laptop is out to annoy me.

So now, it is half way through the day and I still haven't photographed the other documents I need, or emailed them off and all I have done is play candy crush, drink coffee, read interesting blog posts and write this post. I should probably attempt to get something done. I really hate technology.
