tied to the track in front of the training train.

just now i booted up my wee tiny netbook, and it had nary a skitter of battery left. either i am not charging it up correctly or it's not sleeping correctly, but somehow it's always hungry for power. also, there are 25 Important Windows Updates to install, to the tune of 67MB. in case i didn't tell you the story of the first pc we purchased for junior and mini-me, it had 40MB of hard drive, and i proclaimed loudly to all & sundry: Windows Is A Fad! Windows Is A Fad! turns out my prediction was askew and now the windows which was not at all a fad wants more room on my HDD than i even had in that whole first computer. it's just a wonder, isn't it now?

speaking of computers, today i sat in training all day for a computer system, and i'll just say that i didn't get anything out of it and leave it at that because i found out that others did get something out of it so before i am too hard on the instructor, i really must consider the possibility that i am so brilliant that i have nothing left to learn.

but as i was sitting there, i thought about the time i was wasting and wondered about recapturing it. i believe in the future we will be able to capture time and spend it more than once, and even now we could actually be recapturing this time that we are wasting today, harvesting it in the future when it's ripened and ready for the picking, and reusing it to some more worthwhile ends.
