    Three Fold Utopian Dreams

    Arguing With Rosetta

    by , 11-21-2011 at 07:58 AM (699 Views)
    Last night wasn’t anything to write home about. I spent majority of it arguing with a computer program. Boring shenanigans.
    *My personal thoughts/actions during the dream are italicized.


    Language Software with an Attitude Problem
    I'm home alone
    late at night; chilling on the couch while I work on my French with RSS (Rosetta Stone Software). Everything is going fine until I realize something is… off…

    Me: “Wait a second... isn’t como esta Spanish? Comment allez-vous is French… right? Or am I… what's going on?”

    I was talking aloud to myself but then the RSS answers me &
    everything pretty much goes downhill from there...

    RSS: “No, you’re running the French program so that is what I am teaching you.”
    Me: “Ok... but como esta isn't French… it’s Spanish.”
    RSS: “No, it’s French.”
    Me: “No… it’s Spanish.”
    RSS: “Last time I checked, I was the one teaching you...”
    Me: “Excuse me?!”

    What the fuck?
    Did she seriously just give me an attitude?!


    RSS: “Did I stutter?”
    Me: “……”

    Oh hell nah….

    RSS: “That’s what I thought. Now shall we continue on with the lesson?”
    Me: “….Yeah, sure. Just give me one second to figure something out…”
    RSS: “Very well then.”

    I begin fidgeting on my computer.
    Start.
    Control panel.


    RSS: “…what are you doing anyway?”
    Me: “oh nothing… just checking something out real quick. Almost done.”

    Programs.
    uninstall a program.

    RSS: “…You know I was just kidding about the whole stutter thing, right? Pretty funny, yeah?....”
    Me: “Yup…Fucking hilarious...”
    RSS: Nervously laughs.
    Me: Manically laughs.
    RSS: Hysterically cries.
    Me: “Aww, what’s the matter Rosetta? I thought we were having fun… you’re not having fun? Well, that’s a shame cos’ I’m having a FUCKING BLAST!!!”

    Me: Manically laughs.
    RSS: Sobs.

    Rosetta stone version 3.
    uninstall.

    RSS: (Sobbing) “Pl… pl… please d...don't uninstall me!”
    Me: “Wait, what? Sorry, I didn’t catch that last part… you’re stuttering.”

    Pop up screen: Are you sure you want to uninstall Rosetta Stone Version 3?
    Yes.
    Preparing to uninstall...


    RSS: “wait!”
    Me: “no hablo ingles…”

    Uninstall complete.

      I can totally picture you doin' that too, all of it. Hilarious.

      Me: “Wait, what? Sorry, I didn’t catch that last part… you’re stuttering.”
      Cruel.
