Sue Sylvester, you think being waterboarded/passing a gallstone/having hepatitis is hard? Try picking up a finicky router's signal on a recalcitrant wireless network adapter built into a netbook that is running on a platform you're unfamiliar with in another language that you may be able to read but know only well enough to hurt yourself with (ie, you've got no tech vocab), with the help of only two people, one of whom is bilingual but literally doesn't know how to turn on a computer (let alone how to say "Device Manager" or "Wireless Zero Configuration" in that language) and the other of whom only speaks the other language, has untreated ADHD, is seven years old, keeps throwing himself on top of the netbook and wrenching it away, and has managed to locate but then immediately uninstall said adapter, all when your own grasp of how to perform the desired operation in your own primary language on a platform you know blindfolded is at best tenuous. THAT's hard!
