Ballooned.

Yesterday, as I was sitting by the waterfront in Toronto, getting some work done with my Macbook Pro and sipping on a lemonade, three kids started running around throwing water balloons at each other.

Cute.

Until one of the water balloons hit my computer and exploded, also tipping over the lemonade on my table which subsequently seeped into the cracks of my computer. My screen went blank and I couldn’t turn the MBP back on.

Horror.

I ran to the Apple Store, and while they couldn’t do anything in-store, they shipped my MBP to Apple for me and gave me a loaner to use in the meantime. I regularly back up my data, so I’ve only lost about two days worth of work (not bad!) so I’m not stressing too much. I’m just worried about my poor little MBP and what is going to become of it.

Sob.

If I’m a little mopey and sad over the next few days, it’s because I lost my MBP: my best friend and favorite coworker. I’ll get over it soon enough. Most likely when I get her back.
