My car does many things when I turn the ignition. Unless there's a
problem, I don't want to know about it.
My smart-phone does lots of things when starting up. Unless there's a
problem, I don't want to know about it. [Heck, I don't even want to see
the *(#&$@#!% Nokia hand-shake animation.]
My secretary books all my air travel, calls loads of agencies, checks
websites, negotiates discounts. But unless there's a problem, I really
don't want to know about it.
For stress free, healthy and enjoyable living I highly recommend *NOT*
taking in the low level crap that machines or people you employ are
supposed to deal with as part of their job description or feature-set.
Unless there's actually a problem, in which case it *MAY* be appropriate
to escalate it to my attention.
Cheers,
Chanchao
