Poetry by Deb

THE END (of LIFE as I KNOW IT)

The laptop fell on the floor
It fell on the power cord plug
The plug jammed inside the computer
Two hours of taking the computer apart
Fixing the plug with superglue (don't ask)
The computer now works.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!
"Should you wish to continue working
please connect to a power source."
oh no. The "fixed" connection didn't work
Another 30 minutes of trying to fix it
Broke the whole stupid thing off the motherboard
oops.

$200 to replace the motherboard.
Friend offers to try to solder the piece back in place.
Meanwhile....no laptop.
No files.
No recent backup because this wasn't supposed to happen.
Computer headache.
Argh.

I'm addicted to the laptop

How can I live without my laptop

Someone FIX MY LAPTOP!

The End
