Doing the Laptop Drive of Shame

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the monday-monday-monday dept.

netbuzz writes "If you bring your work computer home with any regularity, chances are good that you've done the Laptop Drive of Shame. (Oh, c'mon, admit it.) It's happening more than ever ... and costing more than ever, too, what with the price of gas and all." I'll spoil it for you — they mean leaving your laptop at home. Yay, Monday news cycle.

    Stupid unfunny slow news story. Not laughing 'cause it's like a lame stand-up-comedian-dont-you-hate joke. Get yer tomatoes out everyone.

    Being an old and proud Slashdotter, I'd gone many months with R'ing TFA, and somehow I picked this morning to try it the other way.

    Yay me.

    Here's looking forward to another long stretch of blissful ignorance.

    "it's where I put my phone, wallet, diary, car keys and sunglasses"

    I think the word you're looking for here isn't "brief case," it's "purse."

    Imagine a 20 minute commute, and I didn't even notice I was missing my pants. Hell, neither did the other people on the bus. (It was the Bay Area.)

    And people ask me, why did you hate living in the Bay Area so much?

    We noticed, but anyone who rides a bus knows better than to talk to the person not wearing pants.
