My Neo is Named Fred
Neo by AlphaSmart
And, no, I wasn't originally intending to blog about my Neo (I really am naming it Fred. I can't type along every day picturing Keanu Reeves in a long black coat. I just can't do it).
Anyhoo, so I'm on my computer, typing away at a blog entry about snacking while working at home and my hips and chasing cookies in the conference rooms of Skadden Arps, when all of a sudden I move my foot under my desk, kick the d*&^ plug, and turn off my computer. Poof. It's all gone. And considering I work with about 8000 things open at any one time, who knows what I've lost. And b/c the computer hates me, it has not backed up anything, so there are no restored files popping up.
Sigh. Rather than recreate that tonight (I'm tired. I give up.) I decided to post about what I should have been doing anyway: Fred was delivered today (ain't he cute?) and I SHOULD have been typing my blog on him. (Well, I should have been typing a book, but let's not go there.) Fred doesn't have a plug to kick. Fred isn't temperamental (not yet anyway), and with Fred, I would still have the work!
I guess I should take some solace in the fact that it was a blog entry and not manuscript pages (which, I'll note, I SHOULD be working on. I have 4 pages to go to hit today's goal, but I'm having my taxes done tomorrow, and that requires a good night's sleep).
So anyway. If any of you have a love/hate or hate/hate relationship with your computer, your powersupply, or whatever ... check out Neo (the electronic one; not Keanu).
