How is it that I can be Mr. Fixit and a Walking Techbane at the same time?!
I'm the one who does the computer/TV/VCR/DVD player/cable box set ups and is frequently called upon to solve the OS/BIOS/phone problems but yet I still have the uncanny ability to kill/maim/slow down CPU/laptops/mobile phones and make software/programs/apps go all wonky.
I killed bro's sturdy non-camera phone which had served him for a good 2 years while he served in the army just by touching it.
I caused a friend's MacBook to slow down and then hanged itself. It never froze and he never had to restart it all the while he'd had it until I used it briefly that day.
I have discovered many a glitch in programs no one else complained about and the IT department had no solutions even after checking what I'd checked before going to them except to reinstall the program (which I could've done on my own if I *had* the program installer).
And don't get me started on the amateur software written by someone for our use during a lab in school. Killed it so often I had to turn off the sound to stop the sudden THUNK Win XP likes to make whenever it encounters an error.
I like me some gadgets and electronics as much as the next guy. I know my way around the hardware and software--even if I suck at programming (no logic flow XD). But alas, my love for them are not reciprocated.
*sigh*
