I lost the game

You didn’t listen, did you?

I said it at the start of this little exercise, “Don’t get started in this game if you can’t finish it in 30 days!”

But did you listen to me? No! You just had to start playing it, and now you whine to me about wanting an extension.

I don’t care if you’ve been out helpin’ old ladies across the street, and I don’t care if you’ve been registering apathetic people to vote, and I don’t care if you can’t get on the internet. Hell, you should be registering old, apathetic ladies to vote while using your laptop’s wi-fi connection! That would be a pretty outstanding feat, and show me you’re capable of multi-tasking!

We put the game on pause for you already! But no, “I was working!” you cried, “I’m tired!” you moaned.

You think that’s suffering? Try people who don’t have the internet, or people who have to go an entire day without fragging someone over XBOX Live! Would you trade places with them? Would you? Of course you fucking wouldn’t!

30 Days? How about I give you thirty seconds to get back in your groove before my friend here decides to break your fingers so you’ll have to dictate your commands to the computer through voice-recognition software, made by people who can’t even speak English, to get anything done! Yeah, the learning curve will be steep, and the frustration rate will be high, but I think you’ll eventually get the hang of it. I mean, you’ll have to. What other option is there?

Break his fingers, Jimmy.
