Was working in a part of the world where we didn't have ready access to electronic store and certainly no online order and delivery. I brought back a new external hard drive from Germany. I needed to shuttle a sizable amount of data and didn't have an external hard drive with sufficient capacity. I asked if I could borrow his. He let me but with a warning to be careful. Of course, later that very day I dropped it and it was damaged enough that it didn't work. I had to scramble to work with some local staff to find a replacement, which cost many times what it would have cost in the US and then suffer the embarrassment of explaining to my colleague what happened. After removing it from its case and degaussing it, I kept it on my desk to use a kind of fidget spinner when on long calls.</p></blockquote><p></p>
