Apparently it’s my destiny to misplace things this month. First my glasses and car keys, then my AMEX card, and now the power-cord to my laptop.<\/p>\n
I packed up to leave work in the morning and grabbed my cell phone, laptop and put the LAN cable back where it belonged but I didn’t do the most important thing. After unplugging my power-cable from the laptop, I forgot to unplug it from the wall and pack it back in my case.<\/p>\n
Of course, when I returned to the hotel I immediately crashed for some much needed sleep. When I woke up and decided to try to work for a bit – posting blog entries, fixing up some participant guides, playing around with the NK website layout – I discovered that I was powerless. Since I couldn’t work (my battery charge was super low) I had to *gasp* find new ways to amuse myself. Needless to say I finished off another book.<\/p>\n
Since our offices are spread out over the city – and I was planning on working out of a different one this evening – I had to high tail it to the one I was at this morning in order to recover my power-cord and then schlep my way over to a different office for the remainder of the shift. On the bright side, when I arrived at the first office, the power-cord was just where I left it (and still plugged into the wall).<\/p>\n
Now, maybe I should find one of those kiddy leashes and start attaching all my possessions to me so I don’t misplace them in future!<\/p>\n
