I'm starting the week with a colossal failure: I dropped a USB drive in the toilet.
The feeling I had when I stood there looking at it at the bottom of the bowl would easily equal the ABC Wide World of Sports agony of defeat image of the ski jumper. Well, minus the life-threatening injuries. But that dude didn't have to stick his hand in the commode to snatch a USB drive out of the water either.
At least it was "pre-elimination."
I washed my hands three times and rinsed the drive with water, then wiped it down twice with rubbing alcohol. Now I wait until I am sure that it's dry before I check to see if it's functional. If so, I'll transfer all the data to a new drive.
UGH.
