There’s an odd satisfaction I get when I go into one of the public computer labs on campus, wiggle the mouse around to wake the screen, and discover that I was the last person to use said computer. For some reason, it makes the moment feel special, like the computer was waiting for me to return, that it was completely serendipitous that no one else used it in the 14 hours since I had last been there. It made me feel like I was meant to be right where I was in the world at that moment in time-space. This satisfaction was, of course, followed by extreme frustration as the computer then took close to 7 minutes to load. In all of 2 seconds I had decided this machine was a douche bag and needed to be destroyed.
It’s funny how quickly time-space, the very fabric of reality, can unravel.
