Moving to Lappland
Newly initiated into the world of laptops as I be (my Christmas gift came last week in the form of a black Macbook basted in sleek and sauteed in RAM - nah nah!), I can't help but wonder: Is it unbearably dorky to bring my new BFF to a seminar I'm going to today? (NB: use of word "seminar" makes me feel especially productive.)
Pro: I type faster than I write, and will eventually transcribe all my notes onto it anyway.
Cons: I am not a dork. It is covered in moisturizer. I don't have a laptop bag. I am not a dork (she insisted).
I hate to always be Sophie-ing up my choice, but again - as it frequently does with me - the dilemma comes down to pride or practicality. Given that I oft err on the side of the former (read: leaning tower of tipsy Bree on stilletos), I may just throw caution to the wind and embrace my inner Jobs. (Weep!)
How about this for compromise: if I bring it today, OK. Exception, exemption, 'tevs. But if I'm ever spotted clickclacking away at a coffee shop, the populace at large has both my permission and my invitation to shoot on sight.
