Jeremy dropped a DVD on the keyboard of his laptop, popping the CAPS LOCK key right off. A feeling of "this is it, this is your chance!" came over me and I insisted he let me fix it. A couple of years ago a key popped off of my laptop and after a long time of analyzing how the key and the white plastic piece fit into the keyboard I successfully reattached it. The problem was that no one was around to appreciate my brilliance. Some time later a friend lost a key to her keyboard and I offered my expertise. She seemed interested in my help but never came around to take advantage of my skills. Now, Jeremy's key was off and my time to shine was on! I set to work, stressing Jeremy out with my tilting and man-handling of his brand new laptop. The key had a single broken prong that complicated the procedure. After a long while of figuring out how to attach the white piece to the keyboard so that it fit into the key, I was getting worried I would fail. It was then that I remembered how I had reached this point on my own keyboard and had sent up a desperate prayer. Figuring it was worth a shot and not wanting to let Jeremy down, I asked God to help me get that damn key back on the keyboard. Not 5 minutes later, I had wiggled that sucker into place, as good as freaking new! Awesome!
I suppose I don't deserve all the credit though...
