Little things

wiseheartI'm just tired of things that go wrong all the time.
Like the rather insignificant fact that my new Norton now tells me every time I switch on my browser that it controls websites that might be cheating... whatever it means. It takes away half an inch from my useful sceen space, and as a result, I can't see the entire Mahjongg board anymore.
I hope it can be hidden or switched off somehow, but I'll have to wait for new computer expert guy to show up, because I'm a total failure when it comes to technology.
Or that my damned new digital satellite receiver still doesn't work. Three times the maintenance guys have been here, and they will come at least another three times, I fear.
The thing has cost me an ungodly amount of money that I could have used for a number of other (equally necessary) purposes. I wouldn't say a word if it worked. Only it does not. Plus, the whole disaster has already cost me one of my rare free afternoons, when I wanted to do a number of things I don't have the time to do on other days.
I really don't want such big things from life. But when not even the small things are willing to cooperate, it's really depressing.

The other teachers will come to you for advice, and Xavier will have you come to his office for tea each day to discuss the progress or this or that student or to help him come up with interesting new courses for the school.
And when the bad guys show up to make trouble, you'll paralyze them with brilliant prose delivered directly into their brains via the magnetic field that surrounds you. They'll be so entranced by the stories in their minds that they'll cease moving, lost in the fantasy worlds you weave.
And you'll always have a computer tech on hand to fix your electronic toys.
