We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful

I was extremely happy for Allison and her new laptop. Then it happened: Tech Envy. My computer has been slowing down quite a bit in the last year. I've had it for six years and it has served me well. After seeing Allison's shiny and speedy new machine, I quickly determined that I could no longer live with the coal powered antique that currently occupied my desk. So what did I do? I cashed in on all the hard computer research that my lovely wife has acquired, and went out and bought my own special super-quick laptop. Yes, I am pathetic.
