Life in a World of Overwhelming Stress

(via boomermagazine.com https://www.boomermagazine.com/danger-will-robinson-a-memoir/)

Uh-oh…my home computer, an Asus gaming laptop, just messaged me that I need to reboot because of changes made to its system by Microsoft. The same message also alerted me to the fact that Asus’ proprietary sysmanager, AKA “My Asus” is up to date and doesn’t need to change.

At the same time those messages arrived I received an email from Facebook saying they were changing their terms and conditions of use, which to me means, “Danger! Danger!”

For reasons beyond my current capacity to understand, rebooting at this junction seems terrifying to me now. What to do, what to do…?

Oh, wait, wait, it’s not over yet. I just asked Co-Pilot to create an image I could use to close this short post. Here’s its reply:

Stressfully yours,

Here’s what it all comes down to…

Recently – like since the various dawns of publishing, films, and TV – it’s become a common joke – or maybe wisdom – that deep in our hearts all of us believe we’re writers/creators. Today’s Dennis the Menace shakes that up a bit, and I tend to agree with the result. Not only are we all creators, we’re also characters in what some other-dimensional/other delusional amateur has created.

I mean, how else do we explain…everything?

LYMI,

LB
