The Breakdown

Two weeks ago, something utterly tragic happened to me. My laptop met its demise. It met its maker. Unfortunately for it, that maker was me.

It all happened a quiet Tuesday afternoon.  Something truly remarkable had happened, I had been inspired to be creative and draw something, anything. so I turned to my laptop in a bid to find some inspiration. My laptop on the other hand, had a completely different approach to my sudden inspiration and decided to rain on my parade.

You see, in the past few months, the health of my laptop had been deteriorating significantly and I knew it was only a matter of time before it burned out. The keyboard on my laptop was starting to stick and the letters broke off. Every time I switched the laptop on, I was greeted by a loud, high pitched noise which meant I had to rapidly switch the on button before it would start up.

Once it had loaded up, it would freeze during the AVG scan and the browser took forever to load anything, so in the last few weeks of it's life I purely used it to play DVDs.

So on this fateful day, I went to 'surf the web', but the laptop was having none of it. The music I had been playing began to jump and the screen had frozen. After waiting for a few minutes, I switched it off using the on button and restarted it.

Then came the usual process of noise, then start-up screen but before the password, the screen turned blue and  the laptop died. So I restarted it again and the same thing happened to it. By this point, my patience was running very thin, and bearing my teeth I restarted it one last time.

Now, having grown up in a home that taught me not to talk with my mouth full and, if I didn't have anything nice to say then not to say anything at all, I always went by another rule which was, if it's not working, give it a smack.

So I did that. But when the noise wouldn't stop and my anger at boiling point, I lifted the laptop and in a state of pure fury, began pounding it off of the table. Well, it's safe to say after that, it never switched on again. 

So RIP laptop, I will miss you pissing me off daily!
