Pardon my swearingness but I have to say this out loud: I fucking hate Windows 10. I miss Vista. I miss the way it was neat and tidy and attractive. I miss being able to find things easily. I miss actually knowing where my documents are. Vista was pretty. It had a big fat start button in pretty colours. Everything about Vista was big and fat and round. I love that.
But fucking Windows 10 ....... all I wanted to do this morning was edit my goddamn gigantic novel with its Easts and Wests that have gotten all mixed up (no, I don't know how that happened either). First I had to spend 45 minutes hanging about while Windows did a HUGE update. I mean, what the fuck. Why can't it update in tiny increments, you know, like 5 minutes a day. Why does it have to do everything at once?
And when it was finally finished, it had CHANGED MY DOCUMENTS. Bastard! WHY would it do that? I had a violent panic attack trying to find them. HOURS of work. Not only my writing stuff but also finances - all those Excel sheets. All the important documents I had downloaded. I howled at my daughter through the bathroom door and she came running to rescue me. We searched and searched until finally she said, just open Excel. I did and it came up with the most recent Excel files I had used. And where had ALL my work (hundreds of folders and documents) been moved to? Somewhere weird on the C Drive, stashed in a folder name I didn't recognise. What the fuck was that about? I've only just started learning how to use this computer when it goes and messes it all up again. Is this going to happen every time there's an update?
I fucking hate Windows 10. Or the complete brainless nincompoop who invented it. Arsehole.
I'm now on my second KitKat break of the morning and STILL haven't started sorting my Easts from my Wests.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
