too old for the apple store part 2

i was unable to fully describe my experience yesterday at the apple store. perhaps that was because i was blogging on one of their "test" computers and i was standing up(i guess i think better sitting down perhaps indicating where my brain actually is instead of where it should be) and i had no idea what i was doing, as matthew had to log me on to the internet just to start...

everyone wants to help you in that store...there are about 30 people in blue shirts that are always asking "how can i help you?""are you being helped" "has anyone asked you if you needed help" i decided i need a staff like that in my house...how awesome would it be to come home after a long day and have 30 people ask me if they can cook dinner or put the groceries away or help the boys with their homework(i never actually do that, but it would be nice to have someone ask me if they could do it for me....)

in the back of the store they have the "genius bar" i think it is called a bar, or maybe i was just hoping that is was a bar....but as soon as i saw the word genius, i knew i would never be applying for a job there...and what qualifies these people as being geniuses? perhaps it is because they know how to use the computers and i am still scared of them....

and then, i was eavesdropping on one of the conversations that a mac doctor was having with a very attractive customer(first i thought is was ari...but it wasnt,but man, the guy looked JUST LIKE ari..except for the awesome "sleeve"tattoo on his left arm...)anyway, the doctor was telling him the virtues of "backing up" his system..in fact, his exact words word "it is really good to be backed up.." well, mr mac doctor, i have to disagree with you, because when i am backed up, i am especially cranky...i was about to tell the guy this when jack saw my face and knew exactly what i was thinking and said... "mom, if you dare say a word to that guy...i am leaving the store..."

ok, he didn't really say that to me, but he did know what i was thinking....so we had to leave the computer in the mac hospital....and much to my chagrin the doctor did explain to me what he thought was wrong with the computer, but all i heard was the voice of charlie brown's teacher...waa wa waa wa waa wa...and then something about calling me and then i really really needed a real bar that had no geniuses in it...just coconut rum and pineapple juice.....

get well jack's computer....may you have a speedy, inexpensive recovery..

happy wednesday
