Today there is some kind of glitch that is pissing everyone in my house off. Even as I type this my words are not flowing onto the page the way they usually do. It’s like my computer has slowed down to a snail’s pace. There are many unhappy campers in my house today including me.

I’m typing at my usual speed but the letters are taking forever to appear, not good. I’m already minutes ahead in my brain, this will drive me nuts. I want to see the words as soon as I type them, is that too much to ask?

My youngest has a YouTube channel and to be honest I’m not really all that sure of how it all works. She does makeup tutorials and has quite a good following, I am so proud of her! So, apparently, it’s important to upload on time and today it wasn’t happening. There’s a weird kind of dynamic going on today, my google home couldn’t find my favorite OAR song and my air conditioner (brand new last year) is acting up.

For me, it’s just another day in the life. We really need the air conditioner to be working though, I might melt you know. I’m not usually cranky, but I could be if I get too warm, it’s a possibility.

Meanwhile, my husband was taking way too long in the garage, and I was sweltering as I wrote, despite Google’s poor cooperation.

Finally, I said fuck it and went to Wawa for some Diet Iced Tea, it’s bomb. This made me wonder what we, as a society would do if our creature comforts suddenly vanished. No more air conditioning, no Wifi, no Wawa Iced Tea?

We are all so used to having exactly what we want when we want it that our world turns upside down if anything even minute goes wrong. None of us would make it through the apocalypse, not a one.

Once we all said I want my MTV and now it’s I want my Netflix.

There’s just so much that we are used to having, I mean I need my ibuprofen, my Keurig coffee, and my computer. I also can’t see without my contact lenses, so I’m beat when it all goes down.

Back to the YouTube thing though, it’s so easy to become dependent on all of these things without really thinking about it. Even our cars don’t run the same as they used to, that’s all computerized too, when we buy gas it’s all by a computer as well.

So what if, right? Sounds like a good dystopian novel doesn’t it? Yup I agree, I think I’ll write one. The downfall of man brought on by a YouTube glitch, film at eleven.
