i was in early yesterday morning, thanks to sophie\’s 4 a.m. cry of \”daddy!!\” 4 a.m. is the tipping point for me; if i\’m woken up earlier than that, i can fall back asleep. any later, i\’m up for the day. so i comfort my daughter, make my way downstairs to do some banking and fantasy baseball transactions, and some coffee. i make it into work about 6:30, and (due to the lack of people here) fully jump into my new project.
90 minutes later.. i accidentally nudge my coffee while reaching for the phone, and ker-splash. right on the laptop. not a lot of coffee, but enough to cause the machine to immediately power down.
now, let\’s pause a moment. for people who know me, this should not be a surprise. it\’s often been noted that a meal with me is not official until i spill on myself. i\’m not klutzy or awkward, really, in other aspects of my life. i just have a strong tendency to spill. it\’s part of what makes me cute. or whatever.
yesterday… not cute. i\’m finally back up and functional on a different PC, but it\’s been a painful couple of days. just a note, then: don\’t learn the hard way. save everything to the network before it\’s too late! or, before i come near your computer with a beverage in hand.
