Frustrations

So I struggled with Diigo yesterday.   Everything was going well and I had even bookmarked a few good websites.  Then, suddenly it seemed I couldn't view any followers or people in my group.  I went through the tutorials, searched in the help menu, and did all I could to find a solution to the problem.  I was convinced that the "malfunction" was the result of my wrongdoing.  And boy was I steaming mad.  The more I searched for an answer, the angrier I became when none could be found.  Finally, I decided to Google the situation and found that the snag was with FireFox.  It turns out that Diigo has some shortcomings when used in FireFox.  Well, by that time I was livid but somewhat satisfied that it wasn't my fault.
Web technology is exciting but sometimes makes me want to smash my laptop with a hammer.  Luckily I didn't resort to any violence against my laptop and will use this as a good learning experience when working as a media specialist.  I think children have a higher tolerance when working with faulty technology.  They seem to know how to let go and move on.  I am going to practice counting backwards from 20.  Take a deep 20, 19......
