You have encountered an error and need to close.

Wouldn't be nice if life were like Internet Explorer?

I don't mean by that that we should all be products of a grossly over-rated corporate capitalist maniac, or that we should allow viruses and other insecurities into our existence on a daily basis. What I mean is that charming little window that pops up and reads:

"Internet Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close."

See, when I encounter errors, I have to push through them. Overslept and am now 20 minutes late for class? That's an error, but I still have to go to class or risk not knowing stuff for the final exam. Backed into another car in the parking lot? Also an error, but I still have to fix the scratches. I can't just go into hibernation and tell someone to try me again later when I feel better.

Though I wish I could, at times.
