I'm so glad you shared Jane's essay. When I read it earlier this week,I loved it.

I am the tech support in our household which isn't saying much. The big difference between my partner and me is that I read the instructions, even if I have to search them out each time the wifi goes down or the phones need a kick in the pants. Printers, however, defeat me. I actually broke mine when I was trying to change the ink. Tore the tip right off. Anger may have been involved.

One of my favorite movies scenes is from Office Space when they destroy the printer. There’s a lot of wish fulfillment there. Also, Christina doesn’t read the instructions. She just gets it, somehow. I read them, but I often get hung up when I find typos or poorly worded sentences, which seems to happen more and more these days.
