I spoke too soon.

My keyboard is dead. Dead to me. Dead to the world. Just bought a USB keyboard so I can begin backing it up. And tomorrow, I’ll probably have to buy a new computer. FML. Hubris is a bitch.

MY COMPUTER IS INDESTRUCTIBLE.

Klutz that I am, I just spilled a cup of water on the keyboard of my MacBook Air.  It’s still working!  HAHA.  Although in my hubris, chances are this computer will short.  Given that a previous MacBook Air didn’t survive being dunked in soup for several hours (the tupperware in my bag didn’t hold together), and a Sony VAIO went ka-blammo after spilling water on it, too.  I have better things to spend money on than new computers.

10 Things that Clients Say that Scare PR Professionals

  1. I want to be on Oprah.
  2. I wrote a press release once in college.
  3. How much will it cost to get my press release printed?
  4. I want to get publicity but I don’t like to talk to those pushy reporters. You know I was once misquoted.
  5. I know your PR ideas will make me money. I’m on a very tight budget.
  6. We’re sponsoring a giveaway with the local minor league team and will be giving away travel mugs with our new logo. It’s Tuesday night; which TV crews can you get to cover our story?
  7. Oh you have an opportunity for an interview with a reporter?  Tell them I’m available on Wednesday at 8 AM or next Tuesday at 3:30.
  8. I’ve scheduled a free seminar for next month…
  9. My friend works in my field in Connecticut and his publicist got him into three magazines, an interview with Matt Lauer and a quote in the Wall Street Journal. That’s what I’m looking for.
  10. I’ve scripted out all of my answers for the TV interview you’ve arranged so I can just bring my notes on the set.
