Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/1: blinking light
Truth be told, I don't like seeing the "message waiting" light blinking on my campus phone first thing in the morning. Maybe it's because it's red, but it makes me worried as soon as I walk into my office. Today, though, the message waiting was an utterly sweet one from a former student. That kind of message deserves to be announced with a blinking green light instead!
Wow, another post with which I agree completely! That red light is not friendly! Surely the technology exists for the phone to figure out if the message is ALARM or CALM!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's not just me!
