Today, I am working in my home office as I normally do and as all of you know I live on my MacBook Pro laptop. I work my primary job, my DJing business and of course all my family stuff like this blog, pictures, videos and music on this one laptop. I try to remember to back it up once a week on an external hard-drive in the event something ever does happen to it I could quickly restore to another Mac.
As I was working and talking on my cell phone which was plugged in being charged, I went to the printer to grab something and the power cord of my phone pulled my full cup of coffee onto my MacBook Pro. As I turned around and saw what happened some not church worthy words escaped my mouth over and over again as I paniced and grabbed my laptop up and ran into the kitchen for a towel to begin soaking up the spilled coffee from my laptop.
I have pulled the battery from underneath to find coffee hiding there as well. I sprayed compressed air in every open compartment I can find in effort to push anything liquid out of an opening.
Its now laying on my desk on its left side in hopes that anything liquid will run out of it. Its been laying there for about an hour and I haven't seen anything laying on the desk that would signify coffee remains. I am going to wait a full 24 hours before I try to turn it back on to give it time to dry.
The good news in all of this is that it was still working great with coffee laying all over its keys and soaking into its crevices. I am praying like no other that she'll be fine and life goes on but with drinks at a safe distance.
