Don’t Do What I Did

By cliffkurt

If you’ve read any of my other posts, you’ll know I’m something of a neat freak. I just love spending time on a weekend day doing laundry (more bleach, please!) and deep cleaning my living quarters. But alas, cleaning day March 29th, 2008, almost went horribly, horribly wrong.

Oh, it started out fine. I’d finished the laundry, and was sweeping up the floors and the dusty areas with my trusty new Heavy Duty Portable Contractor Wet/Dry Shop Vac, 5.5 HP at Peak. It picks up anything.

Unfortuantely.

I thought I’d use the Heavy Duty Portable Contractor Wet/Dry Shop Vac, 5.5 HP at Peak to clean the dust and crumbs gathering on and about my laptop keyboard. Bad idea.

Never, ever use a Heavy Duty Portable Contractor Wet/Dry Shop Vac, 5.5 HP at Peak to clean the dust off of your laptop keyboard or this will happen.

If you do decide to use a Heavy Duty Portable Contractor Wet/Dry Shop Vac, 5.5 HP at Peak to clean the dust from your laptop, you’ll be spending about an hour on your front lawn emptying the contents of the Heavy Duty Portable Contractor Wet/Dry Shop Vac, 5.5 HP at Peak looking for the missing laptop keys. You’ll end up shifting your way through this. Trust me, it’s not fun. (And it’s worse if you’re a neat freak like me.)

I got one and a half of the letters back onto the laptop. The “M” snapped on fine, the “V” is on, but it’s shaky. I can’t seem to get the “C” snapped in place.

While I was fidgeting with the keys, I noticed a little bit of dust under where the keys would go. I almost fired up my Heavy Duty Portable Contractor Wet/Dry Shop Vac, 5.5 HP at Peak but thought better of it. Even neat freaks learn their lessons. Sometimes.
