oh the things that make you stop and take stock of your life
Today was going to be the day when I did all my office work, prepared tomorrow, cleaned up everything, went to bed on time, woke up early to avoid the student rush on the bus and was well-rested and ready to face everything
Today was also the day when my Surface charger went, very quietly. One moment I see that the icon is running in battery when it should be running on AC. And I unplug it, I try a different soccet, I twist and push the parts where the copper inside is vulnerable.
It's still warm.
There's no sign of life.
Nobody seems to keep Surface chargers in stock in their actual stores anywhere, and my model isn't even sold any longer. The charger will have to be ordered online. Given where I live, delivery time will probable be sometime towards the end of the week if I'm lucky.
And sure, I've got my work laptop, but I also make a principle out of keeping fandom away from it. The most vital things I've saved to dropbox anyway. Even so, there's the option that the problem isn't the charger, but the power intake on the tablet.
So it looks like tonight's plans of an early bedtime will be postponed for the sake of getting out my external SSD and do a long overdue backup, and I guess I'll see you all on the other side.
