So I started a small contract job and they mailed me a company laptop. I could NOT get it working. Plugged it in, tried to restart it, hold down the power button, checked the battery... etc. I recall my manager having some sort of hardware problem as well so I figured they were just sending us their old junk stuff to work with. They were in the process of sending me a replacement so when Ernie wanted to play with the dead one, I figured no problem. I'll be damned if my little tech support technician didn't just pound on the keys and slobber everywhere until the thing started working again! It's funny in this sort of scenario you're glad it's working but you're also sort of worried that you're going to get accused of lying about a broken computer to waste time or something. Good work Ernie!
Greasy diner food is something that I've been missing from my Washington living experience. Lil' Jon Restaurant in Bellevue really hit the spot.
We visited Lake Sammamish State Park for a change.
We ate snacks on our balcony with no pants on.
When at first you don't succeed, vigorously pound the keyboard with wet hands.
There was a celebratory cider. Hurrah!
