Computer Friendly Aura

So I’ve had this post lingering in my Drafts folder for quite a while, but hesitated actually revealing it to the world, as A) it’s a hard concept to explain and B) it makes ME look a wee bit insane. But since I’ve nothing better to write today (I’m saving my crazy camera search for tomorrow’s post), let the insanity begin.

I have this theory that some people are just biologically more computer friendly. I know that sounds crazy, but hear (or read) me out. I’m responsible for fixing the computers in my office when they crash, or freak out, or when one of my coworkers does something stupid. There are a lot of people in the office that are computer literate right up until the computer does something unexpected, and then they have no idea what to do. I’m here to help. So they run into some software bug that trips them up. Most of them try whatever they were doing again, and still run into the error. That’s when I come in. I always ask them to retry whatever it was that they were doing, so I can see what caused the problem. They try it again..and everything works fine. Moments ago nothing worked, now that I’m standing there, everything works just fine. It used to frustrate the hell out of me. But then I started making a joke of it and said it was my "computer friendly aura," as lame as that sounds. It wouldn’t have been anything I’d bother thinking about, except it happened a lot. We’re talking 90% of the time someone called me, I’d walk over, and everything would be fine. And it wasn’t just at work. My mom, who’s pretty competent when it comes to computers, would run into an issue she couldn’t get past. I’d go over to see what happened (30 miles out of my way, mind you), and whatever the problem was would be gone. My sister, same thing. Friends of mine, same thing. And I’m not the only one this happens to. I know others who’ve had the same experience. Yes, it could be (and probably is, I admit) just a massive cosmic coincidence. But…what if it’s not?

What if there’s a connection between body chemistry and interaction with electronics? We all have an energy field around us, right? What if some people’s field just reacts well with the energy emitted from a computer? It would make sense, right? (Provided it didn’t sound absolutely ridiculous). We know a strong magnetic field will erase a hard drive. We know a power surge can fry a mother board. What if a light amount of properly balanced magnetic energy can cause whatever is out of sync in a computer to get back into sync? Ok yeah, it’s far fetched.  And I’m not explaining it well. But, I still sorta think it’s possible.

Or I’m crazy. That’s always a good possibility.
