Death of a Keyboard

Oh, it is Monday. And it is unpleasant. The weather was pretty nice -- sunny, clear skies. But about halfway through the morning I dumped a large tea all over myself, and my keyboard. The keyboard appears to not have survived the deluge. My coworker did his very best to save it while I raced to dry the monitor base, but I'm afraid we lost the patient. It's an unfortunate casualty, especially since the keyboard another coworker nabbed me from the vacant station has sticky keys. Every time I try to type "p" I get "op." They seem to have molded together.

Add onto this that the office temperature was in negative degrees. I had to put on my coat and was debating whether it would be acceptable to put on my hat.

So in an effort to shake the morning doldrums, I went out to lunch by myself. Everyone in the city seems to go out for lunch. I was among many lone lunchers when I sat down to eat. Last week I brown-bagged and it probably saved me a lot of money. Today I went to Toasties on Seventh between 22nd and 23rd, where a mozzarella sandwich and soup cost me $8.65. The food wasn't really worth it, but it was worth it to get out of the office, eat something warm and just move on to the next part of my day. I also stopped into Duane Reade, a pharmacy like CVS is that is literally on every corner in the city, nearly as prevalent as Starbucks, which is taking over the world as we speak -- but they are doing it with free-trade coffee so it's OK. I replenished my tissue supply, which was wiped out in the Great Tea Spill of 2006. I also bought Twizzlers.

This sugar-fueled frenzy has carried me through the afternoon and now I am just waiting to doublecheck one more assignment before I head home to unpack some more. I'm very close to finishing the kitchen, thanks to G's help this weekend. I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. Then again, that may just be the 6:35 Lack Of Storage Express heading straight for me.

So here are today's lesson: Beware of tea. It is delicious, but it is also a silent killer of keyboards. Consider yourself warned.

Until Tuesday, my friends...
