The Excitement began earlier this fall

So Dell has the 'flu' right in the middle of my fall deep cleaning of the house project (poor baby is in tough shape!), and that means I can't run the vaccuum in the evenings. Needed to find something quiet to do tonight after 9pm and wow, did I find the perfect project to take on when someone else in the house is sleeping: cleaning the computer keyboard!! Facts I have now learned:

1. there is nothing more boring than cleaning a computer keyboard

2. there is no quieter way to spend one's time than cleaning a computer keyboard (provided one can keep one's mouth shut when the urge strikes to swear loudly at the stupid, dirty, ##*%$# computer keyboard)

3. it is possible to carefully clean a computer keyboard with Windex until your spouse or other significant other sneaks up behind you, after being awakened by the dead silence you have worked so hard to create, and hollers, "WHY IN BLAZES ARE YOU USING WINDEX TO CLEAN THE COMPUTER KEYBOARD??? DON'T YOU KNOW YOU COULD SPILL DROPS OF WINDEX DOWN UNDER THE KEYS AND RENDER THE ENTIRE KEYBOARD USELESS???? REMEMBER THE TIME YOU SPILLED AN ENTIRE GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE ON THE COMPUTER KEYBOARD IN TOKYO AND I HAD TO GO AND STEAL A NEW ONE FROM THE MISSIONS OFFICE??? DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO STEAL A COMPUTER KEYBOARD FROM A MISSIONS OFFICE????" ) Sigh...........

4. it takes 10 minutes to defend yourself for spilling a glass of orange juice on a computer keyboard 11 years ago and another 3 minutes to calm down in order not to repeat the performance with Windex.......or rubbing alcohol

5. it takes only 1/4 of a bottle of rubbing alcohol to clean a computer keyboard using exactly 37 Q-Tips

6. it isn't possible to clean a computer keyboard properly using less than 37 Q-Tips

7. you will never want to clean a computer keyboard ever again as long as you live

8. the next time your spouse or significant other is ill and wants to go to bed at 9pm you will tell him to wad industrial earplugs into his ears because you are going to be vaccumming!

Pax, and no charge for this boredom curing hint.
