#technology confessions

On con calls, I will roam my home office holding my laptop and...more than once have ripped out the Ethernet port on my laptop because I forget that I was connected via cable rather than wifi (I think our tech support team secretly cringes when they see my kbox tickets)

I leave open drink containers on my desk (with liquids in them) near my keyboard and mouse. I’m lucky that I haven’t spilled anything recently. Lucky.

When my keyboard starts to stick, I shake the crumbs out of it to see if that will fix the problem.

It usually takes about 2 weeks of putting my computer to sleep every night before every tab and window gives me the (Not Responding) message when I finally shut it down.

I secretly pay more attention to doing work on my laptop at meetings, instead of paying attention to what’s being discussed at the meeting that I probably should know about.

My kids know half of my passwords.

I have hundreds of full size photos and music files on my computer, but have not backed them up onto an external hard drive.
