Last night I got really frustrated with Audible.com and accidentally ripped the UIOP and { keyes off my laptop keyboard in a moment of fury. Just broke the crap out of them, sending little delicate plastic brackets flying across my dining room floor. It was a combination of me feeling angry at paying for files I couldn't download, having to deal with a site whose primary functions didn't work, and flimsy computer design. All I did was wipe my hand across my keyboard with a little more pressure and speed than usual, and suddenly I was staring down at a gaping wound, the tinkling of computer guts raining down like artillery shells in the Matrix. I almost fainted, as my laptop is brand spanking new and I had to go into a large chunk of debt to buy it. For the next hour or so I cannibalized plastic keyboard key mounting brackets from other, more useless keys (like the tilda and the "menu" key next to the space bar, who the hell uses that?) to get myself up and running again. I'm still really mad at Audible, though, because this is (obviously) all their fault. They should be called Audiful.com. Oooh. I just wanted to give this cautionary tale to all those out there who are mad at their machines. Don't take it out on the poor defenseless keyboard. It's not doing anything to you. Blame Audible.
