Where I, yet again, totally fail at being a grown up.

[sarren]

Today was the first time in a week I've actually felt clearheaded enough that it was actually worth being at work today. As opposed to the last few days of non-existent attention span and drugged-upness.

I even tackled the immense stack of filing Boss 1# had left me for 'only if I had nothing to do while he's away' *snort* Of course, given my extremely limited knowledge of public service procedures, even more limited knowledge of most of the projects I was filing stuff about, and the fact that I'm still doped up on the cold and flu tablets ...yeah, he may never find anything again.

Felt quite pleased with life in general. Should have known better.

Managed to trip and knock over a full glass of wine. On the couch. On my keyboard a bit. But mostly, MOSTLY ALL OVER DRAGONFLY'S KEYBOARD.

(We took the battery out, and it's currently upside down, though I don't know what good that's going to do).

Perth people? Where's the best place to get a laptop serviced? Preferably by the weekend, as Dragonfly is going away on Monday.

I've seen this happen several times in student housing. The keyboard was sticky for a while, but all was well. I think they build laptops with spills in mind.

Where did you get your laptop fixed? maybe they could do D-fly's?

Going back to sleep now.

Serviced?! Take screwdriver, remove appropriate screws (as per manual or online instructions, if laptop is decent enough to have them -- this is why I like Dells, in which case it's just "remove all screws marked 'K' for keyboard"), remove keyboard, wipe off any crap that's in there, blow-dry, put back together. So long as you remove the liquid quickly, there shouldn't be any long-term damage.
