Murphy's Law ... Again...

Murphy's Law reared its ugly head again yesterday.  Amidst a snow storm my laptop computer switch broke.  You know, the one that turns the laptop on and off!

So, off we went in the truck to search out the computer repair shop in Edmonds.  Of course, it was closed like most of the businesses downtown.  Heck, it was snowing!

Then we drove in the snow storm to Office Depot in nearby Lynnwood (3 miles away).  Ah ha, they were open.  Of course, they could not fix the computer and told me that they would have to send it out.  Then the manager gave me a card for a local repair guy and said "he would be much more reasonable than us".

Well, the store was happy anyway.  I bought a new computer processor (no monitor needed).  I wanted to have something with more storage room anyway.  So, the store made money on the deal.  They laughed too since I was the only shopper in the store!

I will get the laptop repaired too so I can get anything I need off it.  But at least I was up and running by the time I got home.

Yes, Murphy's Law ...
