12 year old Genius! And Nomination!

Share My computer is JACKED UP!  I don't know what the deal is but the screen looks like I've been smoking something strong.  It's all psychedelic looking.  So I am going to have to take the Mac in to see the 12 year old.  Don't know what I'm talking about?  I'll explain.  If you have a Mac and go to an apple store you will understand this.  For those that don't this is what happens.  You walk in. You are greeted by a twenty something year old who immediately makes you an appointment with a regular computer geek using his Iphone.  Two minutes later a computer geek in his teens appears from the back and takes a look at your computer issues.  After a few failed attempts to fix the problem he schedules you an appointment at the "genius bar".  After another 2 minute wait you are escorted to the back of the store where you meet the 12 year old who is sitting behind the big apple logo stating "Genius".  He takes a look at your computer and humors you by asking you to type in your password even though you know and he knows and he knows that you know it would be faster for him to just hack his way in with his eyes closed but he doesn't want you to feel like your computer information isn't "safe" so he allows you to finger it in anyway.  After that he somehow gets into a part of your computer that you have never seen before and writes a new program to override the current program that is causing your screen to be all "freaky" as that is how you technically explained to him what your problem is and he most likely hacked into your bank account while you were sitting their watching him and as we speak it is slowly siphoning pennies, nickels and maybe even dimes from your account into some offshore account but he knows and you know and he knows you will never know how to prove this as you are standing right behind him watching this take place so how could this have possibly happened.  At any rate in less than 2 minutes your computer is "fixed" and your asking if his mom is going to pick him up later because you would like to thank her for allowing him to miss school in order to work here to help me with my computer.  He stares blankly at you and you take this as your cue to grab your Mac and exit.

So my apologies for not posting the nomination for The Athlete's Plate winner earlier but without further ado I have chosen Heather over at The Crazy World of a Running Mom !  Congratulations Heather and I hope you enjoy the dishes Jason serves up for you.
Happy Running Everyone,
Adrienne

  5. Too funny. So true though. The mac store scares me, the minute I walk in there I know they know that I have no idea what I'm doing there.

  7. WE had to go see a genius about my husband's ipod, which was under warranty and died. We waited 45 minutes just to tell the guy that it was dead. Lovely. And then it was out of stock, so we had to come back and wait again for the replacement!

  14. My daughter tried to get a job at The Apple Store, but I think at age 20, she was too old. :)

    Hope you're back up and running now!!!

  15. Awesome! Like Adam, I was a kid like that, bad-breathe/bad-hair/bad/clothing I worked for Nolan Bushnell at Atari in the 80s.

    Then I started dating and it rocked my world!

  16. C'mon, your fans are waiting for a new post. The last one I saw on Blogger Dashboard didn't come up for some reason.

    OMG - tonight is the Rubber Match. SDSU wins and you will have to publically apologize to me. Can't wait.

  18. Adrienne, blogging is hard. Take as much time as you need. I've been really sparse with my blogging. Life is getting really busy for me.

    But please in the next 4 weeks give me some pointers for my sub-30-min-5k attempt.

    :)
