An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere

So sayeth Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), and while I don't know what the hell it means, I needed a quote about terrible wrongs to highlight what has happened to me.

My loving partner (I'll call him Eric), owns a beautiful MacBook Pro. I have nothing. Or more specifically, an HP (stands for Hellish Poo) laptop that is dying. Now today, Eric informs me that tomorrow his agency is providing him with, wait, you guessed it, A NEW MACBOOK. That's TWO shiny Apple laptops he now has, for those of you keeping track at home.

Evil in the world: 1
Goodness and mercy: 0

I wait. I suffer, not so much in silence. My Jobs, why hast thou forsaken me?
