I was so excited yesterday when I went to Best Buy to pick up the USB drive that had the contents of the long lost cookbook that I bounced out of the store. I had finished with the first round of editing in March and they had been working on retrieving the files for me for the last two months. It's been really important to me to get it back because my dad helped me write some of the recipes that were lost after my laptop bounced off of my bed onto the floor while the USB was plugged into it.
The Geeks who were working there today said that they were very impressed to hear how someone my size could have snapped it clean in half....it seems like the phrase "I've never seen anyone be able to do that before" is something I keep hearing a lot. First it was the "indestructable" military phone, then it was the LifePak 12 that melted SimMan's chest at medic school, and now this USB. I'm like an accident waiting to happen.
Perhaps the folks at Geek Squad Corporate thought I wouldn't notice that the file they had labeled "COOKBOOK" was 1600 pages of symbols. I know I am demanding but "@#$%^&*(*&^%$#@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#$%^&*" is not the same as my dad's lost hummus recipe written in the English language.
Long story short, after spending two hours at Best Buy again this morning, it's going back to Minnesota or Idaho or wherever their mega "clean room" is. This cookbook has spent more time traveling the country than I have.
