Every Bad Word I Can Think of is What This Thread Title Should Be
A few months ago, we had a squirrel in our walls. The sounds the critter made would wake me up at night. Bob got one of those infomercial things that emits the sound to drive away pests. The squirrel went away.

Early this morning something woke me up. I heard a sound, and I thought maybe the squirrel was back. I checked the gadget and it seemed to be on, and I didn't hear the sound anymore. I started to go back to sleep when I heard it again - louder. The sound was in my office.

I got up and went to see.

It wasn't a squirrel Sob

The roof had sprung a leak in a new spot and my macbook pro was sizzling and sputtering. I yanked the power cord and took it to my room. I let the fan blow on it for a while.

As of right now, the power cord works, but it won't charge the battery. I have no sound and no airport card. I am hoping it will dry out and maybe come back to full functionality.

My external hard drive will all my music is fried. My offsite backup service that I pay good money for doesn't back up external drives Sad

Luckily, all my source code was checked into version control.

The monitor to Kareem's computer seems to have issues too. I'll check that out when I get home from work.

I am very, very sad today.

I think you should somehow try to blame it on the squirrels though.

Oh no. I'm so sorry. I would be totally beside myself if that happened to me. Even if it wasn't squirrel related.

As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into.

The offended remind me of thieves. They take offense when it's not given.

Do you rent or do you have homeowners. That *might* cover it.

I think this is just a culmination of many small issues that have finally tipped me over. I am very very sad about this.
