I closed my work laptop yesterday around noon and dumped water on it. I was just so fed up.

Some spilled off onto my desk, though, so i gently moved (read: threw) the offending piece of plastic frustration onto the floor and carefully dried my desk.

On my way to the trash can, i stepped on the laptop. I stepped on it again on the way back, and later, on my way out the door.

I came in to get something half an hour later, and stepped on it again. It remained a stepping stone for the rest of the day, and accrued considerable foot traffic.

I spent the day drinking peach whiskey and playing with my children instead of working on reports. It was a good day.

Don't worry: my laptop still worked this morning, though I declined to.

    How haven't you still managed to find a new job? Your current one is obviously unhealthy.

    @electrineer I have to agree with you. @root you seem capable of getting out of that shithole and find something better... :(

    Shoulda used a hammer.

    Hammers fix everything.

    Especially things that need to be broken.
