You Could Have Just ‘Sat’ on My Keyboard!
July 3, 2008 — patientanonymousI decided to try and switch gears the other night and work on some of my “creative” (ahem) writing. No blogging (well, after my daily post) and no more work-related business (oh, which I am failing at anyway!) Still, maybe getting some other types of brainwaves going and, yes, some “creative” juices flowing might help somehow? Another way of motivating myself?
Well, the weather is getting warmer here so out are coming all the bugs. Recall me cleaning up my flat and finding little mommy spider laying a few eggs. *shudder* PA does not do well with bugs.
Anyway, I am working away on one of several outstanding pieces (of crap) and I see this teensy, little red thing, no larger than a dot you may make with a pen tip? It was wending it’s way around a couple of my keys on my keyboard. I tried in vain to sort of “pick it up” or attach it or get it to climb up on to one of my fingertips. No dice. I grabbed a tissue and tried to somehow “capture” it with that.
The sneaky little thing then just disappeared right down beneath a key. I’m not sure but I think it was the letter, “T.”
So, if little nosey parker was that keen on reading what I was writing, did it have to go all the way “underground?” Yes, surely, it could have just sat there and read it all on the screen! Maybe it had poor eyesight. Or maybe it was more interested in what kind of software I have on my hard drive? Hmmm.
Well, if so…great. Now I have a “computer bug.” *laughing*
Oh, I’m sorry. That was just way too easy and I couldn’t help myself. It’s alright, though. Macs are basically virus proof and all of that. You don’t need to install all the McAfee, Norton, AdA-/Spyware business.
I suppose I could get out my can of compressed air and give the keyboard a good blast. I suspect the little thing is probably dead in it somewhere. The new MacBooks’ keyboards are a single unit. They are sealed so really, the little buggie is probably trapped in there. It was really tiny, however. And everything is electrical so he (she?) could have gotten fried. Or…with enough time, there’s no food. Starved buggie.
Honestly. An insect crawling right into my keyboard.
