Argh!

I hate technology! It took me over an hour to log back into my blog account. Blogspot kept insisting that my login email was my gmail account, when, in fact, I had used my yahoo account as my username. It thought it was being kind and helpful by filling that information in for me, while disallowing me from inputing the correct username. How arrogant! It thought it was being so clever in assuming that I was a new user and wished to create a new blog from scratch. How wrong and unsympathetic it was! We grappled back and forth until I finally acted upon a brilliant idea: clear the cache and cookies from my web browser. Suddenly the username field was released from the clutches of an imposed solution to my life's inefficiencies. I was thus able to enter my true username and, after a hard-fought battle, I got in. How frustrating! Google, there are so many ridiculously intelligent and creative beings working for you, you should have known this kind of problem had the potential to exist and preventative measures should have been taken. Heaven forbid, one of your users should become disgruntled and contemplate refusing to use any of your services in the future. That could deal quite a crippling blow.

Brilliant. I laughed. I cried. It was better than Cats. I'll read over and over again.
