I read my e-mail this morning and found a message that Amazon released their Kindle reader for BlackBerry devices. I have been looking forward to this software release for the last few months. I eagerly clicked on the download link on my BlackBerry Storm2 and waited. I knew it would be slow as many people would be doing the same thing this morning. When the web page timed out, I simply clicked on it again, and again, and again, and again. Well OK maybe I just needed to wait until lunch time.
While having lunch with some colleagues today, I had my hand tapping the download link every minute or two, but to no avail. Timeout after timeout was all that greeted me. A little frustration was beginning to build. Before I left the office parking lot to head home, I tried a few more times. When I was stopped on the freeway several times, as is the ritual of the afternoon commute, I tied again. No luck whatsoever today; I am glad I am not heading out to Vegas anytime soon.
Tonight my luck has not improved, and now I am really glad that I am not going to Vegas. I must have clicked that download link a hundred times or more, but all I get is the browser scoffing back at me with more timeouts.
Sometimes I just get it, and this is one of these times. All the pressures of life mount and mount with work, family, school, career, finance, etc.; it’s enough to sap the soul out of anyone. …
