Fuck Acceptance
I don?t excel at too many things in this life?I?m not particularly book smart which is proven by the lack of High School and College diplomas adorning my wall. I have the distinct knack of saying something completely off the wall at precisely the wrong moment. And to top things off, at times, yes I know this can be hard to believe, I can get a bit uppity and a tab bit bitchy. I have adjusted to these personality pitfalls and quirks throughout my life and have even grown to appreciate them from time to time. But the things I really suck at and can?t accept? Those would be parking and wireless cards. Odd combination? Yes. But true.
The parking? Well, that actually has nothing to do with the fact that I have a beast of a pickup. No matter the car I have owned, I just can?t grasp the parking concept. This, I have never been able to improve upon or understand. Much, might I add, to the disappointment of those neighboring my designated parking spot both at work and home. Don?t even get me started on how awkward I get when it comes to parallel parking?
Fortunately I have no outstanding retardation (mostly) when it comes to supporting WiFi cards at work. This is a good thing considering I must deal with them often and it would be quite damaging professionally speaking. But when it comes to my own purchases, that is a whole different story. I have probably run through a boxful of wireless cards and USB adapters over the past few years. I?m inclined to believe this is not exactly normal. There is no pattern as they have all been different makers and models. Well, there is one pattern?all die within my grasp. Be it from accidental tips of my laptop which lead to crushed cards or various driver and software glitches no other human on Earth has experienced.
I guess if I managed to come to terms with far worse things in my life than this, I will eventually accept the troubles I have with parking and wireless cards. But ya see...that's what ties me up. These are so trivial and should thus, be easily resolved. Not exactly. It's always the details that fuck one up.
