Ring!
"Hey, whatcha doing?"
"Just trying to catch up from yesterday's forced vacation."
"Yeah, we're the same over here. Extremely busy."
"Hey, John?"
"Hmm?"
"My laptop is not working right."
"Okaay. Can you be a little more specific?"
"It's having issues."
"Ee-shoes, you say?"
"The left clicker is not working. You know, on the left hand side of the touch pad. I can't left-click."
"Try to restart it."
"Well, there's that.."
"It's either a hardware problem or a software problem. If it's hardware, you have to replace the part. If it's software, it's probably fixable."
"You know, I really don't eat a lot around my laptop, but this sucker is DIRTY."
"You know if it's not food, what it is, right?"
"Not following."
"It's dead skin."
"John?"
"Yes?"
"Ew."
(laughter)
"You have issues."
"Ee-shoes!"
"Right. Hey, it's working again! Your idea worked!"
"And over the phone too."
"You are my computer conquistador."
(Spanish accent) "I am your computer conquista-dork."
(laughter)
"Jen?"
"Yes?"
"Are you going to blog-"
"You make this way too easy."
Awww... John is so adork-able! That is what The Show calls Bear and I. We are both professional computer conquista-dorks! :)

Way too cute! Oh, btw, I replied to your comment back on my blog - and to add to it - totally came out of left field! I did not even know he was entertaining the idea! Ugh! I feel so left out! Well, at least I have my own pure bred Puerto Rican at home - he's no Ricky but he's all mine!!! (You should hear his impression of "She bangs" - on second thought - I'd save your ears the torture! LOL)

That's what John says, ALF. It's dead sluffed off skin. Just sitting there in the cracks and crevices of your keyboard pad. Can we say "exfoliate daily"?

Dead skin? Nastia Luken!

"adork-able"...I have to use that somewhere somehow.
