So, I did not fu today, but I realised I fucked up today.
My dad loves reading books. His love for books is on the same level as his boomerism when it comes to computers and everything to do with them. I always remember him reading one of his paperbacks. He goes trough several books a month. After he stopped working, the full reading potential became unleashed. Then, the old man got himself a tablet (because Laptops are too heavy) and realised, he could read on that too! And he doesn't even have to drive to the bookstore or wait for his new fix to be delivered! What a great time we live in.
It didn't take him long to notice that digital copies are not really any cheaper than physical ones. That did not sit well with him. Also, downloading the pdf proofed to be difficult for him.
That is were my fuck up started. I mentioned that there are places on the internet where I get my books from that don't cost much money. Actually, they are free. And since my country is dragging its feet, it's not even illegal.
I should've known by the happy face of my dad what was going to happen.
"Can you download this book for me?" he asked.
I found it and sent it.
Remember when I said he is going through a lot of books? It is about one every second day. How do I know? Because now I get bugged every other day, like clockwork, to go find and download yet another story for my lovely dad.
TL; DR: Shared my internet knowledge with my dad and became an involuntary librarian.
