It'll happen... eventually

Last Saturday, I flew to Beijing. Earlier today, I flew from Beijing to Shanghai - by the way, we sat on the tarmac for almost doubt the flight time due to the snow. Two days later, I will fly from Shanghai to Hong Kong. Three days later, I will fly from Hong Kong to Taipei.

Yup, flying more means more things like this happens.

Anyway, last Thursday I traveled back to Hong Kong with a colleague of mine. We both tried to work in the taxi: I gave up after 15 minutes; he lasted half way before almost throwing up... which made me think about "it'll happen eventually":

• Throws up in the cab while working on laptop
• Drops laptop while placing laptop on check in counter
• Burs lap while creating blank slides
  
• Drops laptop while placing laptop on handle bar of luggage
• Develop tendinitis due to carrying opened laptop on the lid
• Drops laptop with laptop on lap and waking up from an unexpected nap
• Leave laptop in the magazine pocket in the plane
• Drops laptop when (Chinese taxi) driver swerves to pass other swerving Chinese taxis
• Leave laptop in security scanner

And I'll freely admit that I've thought about the beauty of having a Crackberry about 1,325 times this past week.

Naturally, I'm writing this blog because I narrowly missed my (first time!) flight to Taipei. Next flight is an hour out. Sorry, I wish it was more dramatic like my Bain Boston trip. Maybe next time... not.
