genius

[dragonlady7]

i am a goddamned genius.

I compulsively save what I'm working on. Given that it sometimes takes me two hours to compose a sentence, that's a good idea.

However, sometimes I forget. I had about a paragraph unsaved, and decided i wanted to listen to some music. Dave's mom is in the living room watching TV, so I thought I should plug the headphones in first.
So I stood up to plug them in.

And stood on the off-switch of the power strip into which my computer is plugged.

I am a God-Damned genius, I tell you.

Sheesh.

Best part: I'd been noticing that the power strip was right there and telling myself that one of these days I was going to step on the switch, for almost a month now.

That's the part that's real brilliance. Aren't you proud of me?

Hail to thee, great genius!
I once spent an hour working on something and got up to go to the bathroom. My father then wandered into my room (for no apparant reason) and saw that my computer was on, so he turned it off. He was very puzzled when I had a hissy-fit two minutes later, but to apologize he bought me a neat program that records every key-stroke you make. Unfortunately, it doesn't run on anything past windows 95, and I haven't found a comparable program. Have you?
