work hazards.

so it's really cold here these days. today, it was almost -40ºC with windchill. it was so cold that the walk from my car to the office (max 10 feet) resulted in frozen nostrils and eyelashes.

obviously i am mad-rushing to finish off stuff before i leave for Shanghai...and in absent-minded hurry I forgot to bring in my laptop to one of my work appointments. the poor thing was left in my trunk for 3 hours.

at the end of the day, i drive back to the office to check up on a few things. i start my computer and i get this message "disk error. warning disk error. press any key"

OH F!!! my poor lap top got HYPOTHERMIA. it was literally frozen solid. the screen has a layer of frost. i felt so guilty for mistreating it. and i was so scared because i really needed information on the c drive.

looking around, i was so desperate to gain access to the information - i am not proud to admit the following...but i saw that most people had already gone home...so...i did what any decent office slut would do...

i opened my shirt and hugged my laptop topless. look - i recently completed a first-aid course and learned that the remedy for hypothermia was to have skin on skin contact.

let's just say that i successfully "turned on" my computer and now all is well.
