D.E.S

Greg brought me his Digital Rebel to play with at work. The conversation is email exchange between Shaun and I for the next hour.

Title of email: You’re going to hate me.

Me: I want the Canon Digital Rebel. NOW.

Shaun:
Stop. You have a sickness, honey. I had an intervention planned, but obviously this needs to be addressed.

Hope you’re sitting down…….DIGITAL ENVY SYNDROME

What is it? Digital Envy Syndrome(DES) is a psychological affliction which causes its host to crave electronic, digital, or computer-related items which have been celebrated by other users. DES sufferers are usually symptomatic for years before proper diagnosis (which should only occur by proper CompUSA or Fry’s authorized representatives). Symptoms include a constant need, desire, or craving to electronically upgrade beyond the needs of the patient as well as an unusually large pile of digital cameras.

Me:
I was talking to my doctor about this problem JUST this morning. He said he thought he had DES too, but after getting the Digital Rebel all DES was cleared up and in fact he has more respect for the digital camera’s from his past. He has released his ghosts and no longer has those horrible cravings.

Shaun:
You sound like a crack addict trying to get that high they got the first time. I’m going to find you in an alley someday behind a trail of full memory cards.

Me:
Now you’re just talking crazy! *twitch* My doctor gave me this prescription to avoid any side effects that may occur. [insert picture of Canon Digital Rebel from above]

Shaun:
Actually, you’re without insurance at this time. The clinic phoned this one in:

I guess i’m not getting a new camera after all.
