It's happening, people.  It's been coming on for years and they just made their next salvo.

It started years ago with printers. They were the scouts, the recon patrol.  The first wave.  We brought them in to our offices.  Just one at first, then they started popping up in every nook and cranny and then right on the desks.  They drove us fucking crazy from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. With their paper jams, and error codes, and those exasperating times when they just sat there and did nothing. But did we get rid of them?  No, we bought more!  And we brought them into our homes to drive us fucking crazy on our off hours.  My household now has a wireless printer that talks to our computer, ipad and server (or router, I get those confused) without wires! It can even get to you outside! In no time it will be solar powered and able to roam freely throughout the house. (scaring the dog)

Then it was entertainment systems.  TV's weren't enough.  We need tvs, dvds, dvrs, and gaming systems.  All hooked together and all with their own remote controls.  We willing brought all of this into our homes to assist in their colonization of the family room.

The third wave....wireless servers (or routers, whatever) in our homes!  When we moved into our house two years ago, the cable guy spent a considerable amount of time explaining to us why it needed to go in the master bedroom.  I'm pretty sure he was just making up words. (really? is it the flux capacitor?) And my husband stood there nodding his head, like he understood it all.  That cable guy was a robot and the server is in the closet to make it easier to kill us in our sleep.

And their latest move is the most genius of all.  It's the dinging, and the buzzing, and the ringing.  All over the house.  From the phones, the smart phones, the ipads, the computers.  Every time something makes a noise, I get up and walk around the house trying to find it.  It's Pavlov's Fucking Dog!!  They didn't even change the shtick!!  And half the time the ringing and buzzing is just in my head!  I'm anticipating the noises before they even come!

We're doomed, people!  DOOMED! Head for the hills!  I would, but I can't leave my iphone.
