Rejection By The Software Elita Sohmer Clayman


This software on the Towson Patch is hurting my feelings Every time I write something for it, a new program they put in sends me a note that I am rejected by their robot (?). We all have been rejected at one time or another by the opposite sex when we were young and in turn we did the same thing to them.
 Sometimes a computer will reject one's credit card when they are buying something at the store due to a wrong number, a wrong name or perhaps you have gone over your limit.



 Other times we try on a piece of clothing, especially women and the material rejects our body. Well, we think to our self, we will not try to buy this brand again especially when we have just lost five pounds and it should fit us.

 Sometimes we go to a new restaurant and our tummies reject the spiced food and we think that never again will we patronize this place when we need Tums immediately.

 Sometimes we start a new job and the boss is obnoxious to us and we think, way to go Mr. Boss, someday you will be rejected by your new employer.

But to have a piece of machinery called a computer to reject you is really mean and ugly. You think, who in there is rejecting me, I do not even know them and especially when I am a writer of worth, of interest and kindness.

So on Monday July first I will call the Towson Patch technicians and try to get me going again because this 'rejection' is not being rejected by me and it has been going on for almost a week and I am getting angry with it and surely Towson Patch will solve the problem. Maybe they should bring in Perry Mason (though they are probably too young to know of him) and he never messed up any case or any problem.

So I shall put in a call, text, email and write a letter to Perry and maybe he can come quickly so the rejection stops hurting my senior feelings.
