is this some kind of a sick joke?

gmail, are you kidding me? 'cross my fingers and try again?' is this your idea of tech support? nevermind computer programmers, i'll just cross my fingers and surely that childish symbol of desperately wanting something will FIX THE INTERNET. godDAMMIT gmail i want to check my new messages and i want to check them NOW!

UPDATE: gmail was restored as i typed this pseudo-angry post.
