potential
Spent the last couple weeks in very, very mild annoyance because my computer wasn't operating the way that it should. As I'm stealing wireless from some poor family in the apartment complex, everytime the connection fails, my computer crashes for some odd reason. And it's been operating a lot more slowly than normal.Then one fateful day, my mouse scrolled over the power supply icon on the way to the internet connection icon, and it said "Current power plan: Power saver." I switched it to "High performance" for fun, and it literally made my computer 10 times faster.
It hasn't been living up to its potential. I burned a grand (or rather, my parents did...) on this computer, and this entire past year I was using it in "Power saver" mode. I feel cheated.
I could draw an obvious analogy to my life here, but it would be pointless. Thus, I will leave it at that.

lol. ah, so tempting to go find my own power supply icon... but i suppose i could do more with saving power at the minute than fast performance.
ReplyDeletehow's home? :)
this reminds me of the quote that was in front of my 6th grade english class the entire year: "life is like a ten speed bicycle. most of us have gears we never use." i only remember it because it had a picture of snoopy riding a bike on the background.
ReplyDeleteanyways, enjoy your computer in its full potential. but you might find it nicer to put it back to "balanced" so it wouldn't eat up too much battery power. haha.
