Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The big difference between a tablet with a detachable (but always attached) keyboard is that it runs iOS or Android, so lightweight and optimised for mobile, that it's small and likely gives up some connectivity options like wired ethernet and any drives, and is therefore lighter than any laptop and many netbooks, and that it has a touchscreen, which your laptop probably doesn't have, which sometimes is exactly how I want to navigate the world (and sometimes not). Battery life depends on your hardware--the Asus Transformer is nutso excellent. I've run out of juice once.

The apps are different, what it's optimised for is different--it doesn't replace a laptop, but some of the things you were doing with your laptop you can as simply do with that. And if you want to toss your laptop in your handbag, you probably can't.

Okay, I've got to go back for my second meeting of the day with impressed director--and it's not my last.

Where is my tea???

Punishingly Intricate

I've started buying TJ's bag of 4 avocados, leaving them on the counter until they are just ripe, and then putting them in the fridge. It has worked shockingly well

Yeah, I do this with Costco avocados too.

not your mom's socks.

I want the avocado CSA.

Was this where the introvert/extrovert conversation was? I'm in turtle mode a lot lately, so I didn't post. I don't know what you call someone who is comfortable chatting with strangers she doesn't care about but clams up around people she does... Sox, most likely.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want a strawberry shake. Which I have. Yay me!

One of our sales reps brought us bite-size cupcakes from Baked By Melissa. Since I had a salad for lunch I feel pretty good about eating 4 of them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I want guacamole.

Right?? But it has to wait until the weekend for me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, wow, VAWA. The tribal portion of that is big news for us out here.

And yeah, it took me like five minutes to totally love the magic mouse mac stuff and be pissy that it doesn't work on all my other devices.

But I don't think I can convert completely because of Quickbooks. Emulator, I guess.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I made box cupcakes last night, and even if they're the EZ lazy kind, they're still fresh and nice.
