First of all, it’s obvious that I have upset you. You have made that fact abundantly clear. At first, when I was having computer problems last week, I assumed the issue was bad ol’ Windows Vista. When I spent like two hours starting and restarting my computer, only to realize that I had left a disc in the drive? Ouch. I really thought this was a Microsoft problem. I should have noticed you. I’m sorry.<\/p>\n

Then there was the issue with the GPS. Yes, I dropped it. Twice. But I should have noticed you. Again, I’m truly sorry. I have to admit that I DO take you for granted sometimes. Yes, I know, a hundred years ago you were unheard of in this part of the country. I understand all of that.<\/p>\n

But what have I done to make you this upset?<\/p>\n

Last night I could have been killed when you kept cutting out on the highway. I thank you for allowing me to get to the gas station before frying my ignition coil completley. You had my attention then. You really did.<\/p>\n

Was it necessary to then cut out the earpiece on my iphone so I couldn’t answer when Graham called? An then to hide the power cord to my laptop in Vermont so I had to find another way to upload garf1 today?<\/p>\n

Was all of that necessary?<\/p>\n

I get it. There’s a problem. Just let me know what’s wrong. We can work this out. I’m hurting now, too. Honestly.<\/p>\n

Love,<\/p>\n
