Woot! - One Day, One Deal |
| Description : |
We’re minutes from total catastrophe.MINUTES. You’re the best in the business. We really need a decision on this right now.A panic ran through my body as I realized they were talking to me. I’d kind of spaced out there.
“Right,” I said, affecting a tone that I hoped would say “I’ve been paying attention all along.” What were they even talking about? A decision on what, specifically? My eyes started to water. My hair stood on end. My core body temperature dropped. The contents of my bowel went liquid.
“Uh, hmm,” I said, and started tapping on my MSi touchscreen PC, the very thing that had gotten me into this mess. With its sexy, modern 18.5-inch Touch Widescreen and cool, quasiMac styling, it makes me seem smart, important, and up to speed on recent technological developments, none of which, truth be told, I am, even a little.
Tap, tap, tap. I tried to play it off like I was doing some last-minute figuring about whatever it was we’d been discussing, and I wondered if anyone had a good enough angle on my screen to see that I was just playing Minesweeper.
Curse this touchscreen PC! It’s not even anything super special—it only uses netbook tech, an Intel Atom 330 Processor. But it looks so cool. If I had only left it at home! But no, the second these guys saw me in the lobby with the MSi touchscreen under my arm, they took me for that million-dollar, major-league consultant they called, and whisked me into a series of meetings on incomprehensible topics—almost all of it totally over my head, but I did distinctly hear something about an imminent meltdown at three plants simultaneously—and by then it was way too late to say “guys, I’m here from the temp agency, they only sent me to answer the phones.”
So there we were, standing in front of the control panel for the whole southeast regional grid, and I didn’t have to be Doc Oppenheimer to know that the flashing red lights weren’t good news. I took a deep breath and tried to sound casual.
“Um,” I said, “have you tried rebooting?”Authorized for SquareTrade Extended Warranty
