Input: Text: this happened last night (29.7.14), but i will try to give some context (it is my first ever post on reddit i have done my best to follow reddiquette but go easy if i messed up):

about 3 weeks ago it was my birthday, and my girlfriend couldn't decide what to get me. in the end she decided to go online and order me a pair of nike trainers, without paying any real attention to the website she was ordering them off. so it was a surprise to her when she had paid and then found out they need to ship from the us.

my birthday also triggered a serious thought process in my mind about what i wanted to do with my future, whether or not i was happy in my job.... i basically had a mini-panic and realised time is ticking and i need to find my route to feeling fulfilled. for me, this means quitting my boring desk job and finishing off my music production diploma so that i can chase my dreams of getting involved in the music industry. so recently i handed in my notice at work and re-enrolled in my course full-time... i have been djing for 11 years and use a digital vinyl system that allows me to utilise my music library on my laptop. i also bought some production software too in preparation....

anyway back to the fuckup....

yesterday, she calls me to tell me she has to give me something, so after work she comes round to my place, with the new shoes.
seeing as how she was at mine and had just given me a new pair of trainers, i asked if she wanted to stay for supper and stay the night. as i was cooking, she loaded up an episode of a tv series we have been watching on my macbook pro. i made her a vodka and tonic and then got back to cooking. once supper is cooked and plated up, i asked her to get a lemon out the fridge. in doing so somehow she picks up her glass of vodka and tonic and drops it.......

all over my keyboard.

i rush over shouting "shit shit shit" and grab the laptop, turn it upside down and turn it off straight away.

she then has a tantrum and is clearly upset about what she has just done (accidentally, of that i have no doubt), but is otherwise completely unhelpful. i do my best to reassure her that it was only an accident and that the laptop will probably be absolutely fine!

it is not.

i have left it upside down all night to try and make sure the liquid didnt seep into the main circuitry, but as i was falling asleep i really think i heard a noise and saw a flash of light.... maybe i was half-dreaming, maybe it was the important stuff short-circuiting....

anyway, needless to say this morning it does not turn on or show any signs of life at all. screwing.

so thats my fuckup, just at the time where i am simultaneously out of work to go back to studentsville, with no money to spare or prospects of money, and just when i am about to entirely depend on my digital record box and production station. i have to say to my credit, i handled it like a champ at the time, and didn't let her see that i was dying inside, but today the reality is hitting me that i am in a bit of a jam, and the realisation is going down about as well as a cup of cold sick.

i hope this story can re-assure others who have had a similar thing happen: you are not alone, but also because i have been really nice about it and i really needed somewhere to vent.... i'm thinking at least a couple of redditors may understand my frustration!!

 

edit: thanks for the downvote! most kind!
