Of Dead Computers and Coffee Cake

Who says commutes are always boring?

On my walk from the parking lot to the boat I got stuck in a torrential down pour. The kind where an umbrella only keeps water off your face while the rest of you seriously gets soaked.

While I managed to get soaked to the bone in about a minute, so did my laptop. Water got through the closed bag, The apparent death of my computer sparked rounds of "He's dead, Jen!" and general Star Trek geekery by certain people on board. ;)

The ferry however manages to take the sting out of an otherwise miserable morning - we had a birthday to celebrate. Cake and cards included. For Grumpy the deck hand (Get off the boat!) who was wearing a birthday hat that defies description. Big thanks for the home made coffee cake and orange juice - that really made my day (and Grumpy's).

Only floating to work could alleviate a day like this one.
