The Perils of Playing with My Footstool at Work

Ok. So, I have this little stool that I have under my desk at work so I can prop up my leg sometimes. Well, actually I use it all the time. I also sometimes move it around under my desk a lot if I am thinking about something. Today I paid for it big time. I had two widescreen monitors full of open files and e-mails that I was working on and my foot moves my stool and drops off of it all of the sudden. Boom! My screens go black and my computer is powered off. I unplugged the powerstrip from the electrical socket.
I crawled under my desk and plugged it in knowing that no matter how fast I did it some work was going to be lost. It took like 25 minutes for the thing to reboot. Good times...Good times. 
The good news is that since I stopped drinking coffee I don't fool with the stool as much. But, hey that wasn't the worse part. Later, I spilled lotion on my keyboard. Getting lotion from between keys was a lot harder than plugging in a powerstrip.
