Technology Dependence

Our email at work is not functioning properly.  I. CAN. NOT. HANDLE. IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am so ready to jump.  From a very tall building.  Well, maybe not.  I am ready to drop my computer off of a very tall building!  I NEED my emails to come into my Outlook and be friends with all of my other emails.  Immediately after sent.  Not 3 hours later.  And yes, I can sort of check them on-line, but it is not the same.  [Insert temper tantrum]

It is a shame that this is what I have become.  I know that I should be able to function and be productive, yet I find myself pushing that damn send/receive button repeatedly.  Then I mope when it doesn't work or celebrate when it does.  Please let this day end soon.

To top it off, I called tech support.  That statement there should be enough.  The first time they told me they know there is an outage and they are working on it, but have no estimated time that it will be working.  Then I realized that I wasn't getting all of the emails on-line, so I called back.  The guy actually asked me if he could log in to my computer remotely to make sure I was refreshing correctly.  Are you serious right now???  No!!!!  I understand how that green thing works.  I am not a complete fricken idiot!!!  And then later it occurred to me that there must be people that stupid if he has to ask that.  What is happening in this world?
