Yesterday at work I overheard my boss telling a coworker that he found a great deal on a large-capacity external hard drive.
I popped my head into his office and asked where he got it, because I’m in the market for a new one. I recently upgraded to the newest version of the Mac operating system called OS X Leopard. It has an automatic file-backup feature, but in order to use it I need a new ‘Mac-formatted’ external hard drive.
I explained this to my boss, but he said I didn’t need to buy a new hard drive. I could take my old one to work, empty its contents onto my work computer, then re-format the old hard drive and put the files back on it.
I thanked my boss for the suggestion, but just as I turned to leave, a coworker asked, “Wow, 300 gigs? What do you keep on that thing, anyway?”
I turned bright red and stuttered for a second, as I’m prone to do when embarrassed. I mumbled something about TV shows and walked out as quickly as I could.
It’s safe to say I won’t ever bring the hard drive to work.

I think the question everyone wants answered is still “What do you keep on 300 gigs?”
I’m still amazed at how fast the gigs fill up with random junk.
The “Iomega Desktop Hard Drive 500 GB Hi-Speed USB 2.0 External Hard Drive – 33654″ from Amazon has been a great external drive for me. <$100 bucks too.
lol, what sort of SHOWS are these?
As they say in Avenue Q — “the internet is for PORN, the internet is for PORN, the internet is for…. PORN, PORN, PORN!”

Giggle, giggle. TV shows, huh? Interesting…. be thankful the co-worker didn’t follow behind you with, “what tv shows?”
Would this be the material that you loved to show us in the Jepson office? :)
