E = Embarrassment

Helen walks into good old Borders armed with boxed lunch, laptop, and her Mental Disorders Bible. Nothing new. Two hours of vigorous typing ensues and ends abruptly when her laptop gives out.

No problem.

She clears the table and heads for the food court where electrical outlets are made readily available for the unsuspecting student. Except they would have to be suspecting otherwise no one would think to bring the power cable.

This student suspects. Hurray!

Out comes the laptop. Crumbs make way for the mound of papers on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (does not include lingering thoughts of matter-of-fact storytelling by Celeste Jones "Not without my Sister").

Power cable yay!

Adapter no.

Much ado about nothing. She slinks back home with 545 words.
