When I to my work, I always take my private laptop along with me. It is for me the way to keep in contract with all my friends who live is so many places. I don´t want to use the company equipment and Internet connection for that.
This morning while getting out of the train, it felt of suddenly as my laptop-bag that was hanging on my shoulder slipped a bit down. Which was weird. A little check showed that the strap on which the bag was hanging over my shoulder was a torn a bit at the connection point to the bag.
My decision was fast. The risk of my laptop falling was not one that I wanted to take. So today after work, I went directly to the shop centre of Hoofddorp to buy a new laptop bag.
Funny enough I bought exactly the same that I already had. And why not, I was always very happy with it and it is of the very good brand Samsonite.
The fact that the laptop bag I had was of this well known brand, makes it rather likely that I well get the bag (partly) paid back. Specially when you know that I bought the bag where my parents already were customer and Marion (and her parents) are no strangers there as well.
Well and while I was in a shopping mood, I also bought a external hard disk of 1 TerraByte. A nice fast one from Seagate. Imagibne….1 TerraByte! My very first hard disk was 20 MegaByte….
To make it all complete I had a nice mixed grill at the JR Corner in Hoofddorp. Another nice evening spend 🙂
Rob, that bag was a present from me when you bought your laptop. So when you get no repayment for that bag (it really should not be damaged like this after a year), I will repay it to you…. it was my gift. But it also means that I will have a talk with owner of the shop were we bought it!
I saw the menu of the place where you had that mixed grill. It has some interesting things on it. Maybe we can go there somewhere in the future 🙂
Imagine, your new terrabyte HD has about 200GB overhead which it cannot use…… And it’s cache will probably be as large as your first harddisk 🙂
You should not be too harsh about your laptop bag. It has traveled a lot. knowing that you always take your laptop to work, and to amsterdam and haaksbergen. that is a lot of stress. (not only for the bag. But also for its owner…… ;P )
