Murphy

, , , ,

monkey Have you ever heard of Murphy? Well, today was the day when all those laws became real. I had completely forgotten an exam, so obviously, I have not studied. At all. I remembered everything when I was arriving so I started reviewing all I could. When I recieved the questions I should answer, some points I had no idea, so what can I do but skip them? Later I began with the "easy" question. I checked my HP 48GX and everything seemed ok. So I wrote down the answer for the last question. That took me about 1 minute. Then the easy question, but oh my goodness... turning to my HP I noticed a messed screen! No hardware or software reset worked. A big laugh came out of my mouth, and everyone looked at me curiously. I could not do anything else because all the exam's questions needed at some point a complex calculation (like sums or even multiplications lol ) I closed my backpack, gave the answers I could to the teacher and rush out of that classroom with an unbearable anger. Physics class at 20.00? Bah. No calculator, no physics.

What did I learn today then?

Well, difficult question. Should I buy another calculator? It seems not. At home I used a paperclip and worked perfectly for resetting my HP (Murphy again), but all the software I've written it's gone. What I learnt today was my deep dependence to the calculator and the shallow use of my mind for such mechanical tasks. Well, I hate those tasks. bomb
