Y'ever have a bad technology day?
I'm not talking about the electric razor attacking you like in that Twilight Zone episode. I just mean one of those days where every freakin' dial and meter is letting you down.
This happened to me on Friday.
Thursday night, I turned my cell phone off before bed. Woke up Friday morning, turned the phone on, and it gave me the "low battery" alert. Impossible. The damn thing was showing a near-full charge when I shut it off the night before.
And then I got in my car to go to work -- and had half a tank of gas. This, too, was weird, as I'd have sworn it was only a quarter tank when I left it last. I'm not really complaining about extra gas, but how did it get there? Did someone just GIVE me an extra quarter tank of gas for no reason? Or were my dials messing with me?
And the worst thing of all -- when I turned on my ipod to continue my random stroll through every track I have, instead of picking up where I'd left off halfway through, it started all over again at song 1 of a brand new shuffle. ARGH.
Not the day to operate heavy equipment, that's for sure.
