Toasted

I toasted the work laptop. I literally toasted the work laptop. By that I mean there were crackling sound, there were smoke coming out of the laptop toasted. My cousin believes in the "course of the original year" (the year of the Chinese zodiac sign that you belong to, which is every 12 years). I don't know. At first I thought it was my health, but that's looking better and better by the day. Then I worry about the health of older kitty. She, too, is a pig according to Chinese zodiac, but all her lab work came back negative. I, however, haven't been having much luck with computers. Not too long ago I, metaphorically, toasted my home computer and had to perform a clean reinstall. I just got this new work computer last Thursday. Technically, it hasn't even been a week yet (toasted it before midnight). AND, after I got the first new laptop, it has component issues. IT spent about 4 hrs working on it, then realized it was just hardware and swapped a shell for me. I couldn't imagine their joy when I showed up at IT again promptly at 8 AM tomorrow morning...
