Am I getting nervous?

24
01

Every evening when I come home from work, I prepare myself some food and switch on my laptop to check my e-mails. This evening I intended to do exactly the same, but things did not do as they did the days before:

When pushing the “on” button on the laptop, nothing happened…

I thought, well, maybe I did not hit the right button, because it was rather gloomy in the living room. I pushed the right button then, and, again, nothing happened…

Horror scenes came up right before my eye, with me having to go to WordCamp without my laptop, pictures of me in a computer shop having to surrender to a hard drive crash that may have happened when I was at work, or even a blown fuse that destroyed the power supply and killed the laptop within seconds…

Well, then I decided to switch on the power first and then push the button again. Guess what? It WORKED -p

I suppose I am getting nervous because this weekend will be WordCamp, and I still need to get all things on my list done? Nooo, I am not nervous, only excited -)

    Thanks, Brenda -) Happy New Year to you!
    Yesterday, a Chinese colleague sent us a mail inviting us to have some Chinese sweets on occasion of Chinese new year. Me had a fortune cookie, so I kind of celebrated it too -)

    At least you got the better deal. Back in November my laptop decided to die on me (right in the middle of NaNoWriMo!) and I had to have a guy delete everything and reinstall Windows. (
