When I got home today, I came down to my work area and put my nice steaming hot cup of coffee down next to my less than two month old laptop. I sat down, getting ready to work on the book, when I noticed that the folding table that serves as my desk didn't look right. So I stood up and took a look under the table to see why the end where I sit looked lower than it should.
As I bent over, I put enough weight on the table to finally break the legs free from the table top. One nice loud crunch/crash later, my laptop was on the floor covered in coffee along with everything else that was on the table.
I killed the laptop to avoid shorting anything out and got it off the floor - only to try and put it back up on a table that was no longer there.
On the up side of things, my knee doesn't hurt that much anymore.

I wish I could have spilt coffee on my old one!! I may just let it become a toy for Aliyah - it died!! I hate it!! Got a new one though?! LOL
You need to install a camera down there tho to record these escapades. Ed beat me to the movie rights...

Damn! So, Ed... can Bea & I at least direct?
Though thinking about it... I think I'd just want to be able to watch the reproduction. =P

My version would be the epic IMAX presentation, complete with slow-motion and multiple camera angles. Call it "Massive Failure IMAX"!

I'm OK, the laptop's OK, and the table has been temporarily repaired until I can get a new one - thanks for asking.
Asses.

Oh yeah... glad you're alright, Dave.
Of course, that really was the first thing on my mind! At least after the side-splitting laughter ended...
Aren't I allowed at least a TINY bit of laughing at your foibles after "disappearing from view" due to a couple rickety milk crates?!? Heh.
