Waking up to a blinking alarm clock hadn't been that big of a deal; it was Sunday, and Jen didn't have anywhere to be. Opening her laptop and discovering that a faulty surge protector had led to the Blue Screen of Death? That... That was a big deal. It had ended in a string of curses and praising herself for saving all her current grading onto a flash drive, then a trek out into the cold to go to the library.
After she'd completed her grading and set up the next week's lesson plans, Jen headed to get herself a new laptop. The old one, while functioning before the power outage, was old, and not worth repairing anymore, so she treated herself. She parked, then headed back in through the main doors, pausing at the door to wrestle her bags in with her and stomp the snow from her boots.
Her phone chimed in her jacket pocket, and she used her teeth to pull off a glove while balancing two oversized shopping bags and a huge shoulder bag, reaching into her pocket. Quick movements of her fingers revealed a text from Nate, and she struggled off with the other glove to type a speedy reply. Her attention was too fully absorbed to notice the person she was walking strait toward until she clocked them in the shin with the bag containing the reinforced box holding her new laptop.
"Shit, sorry!" She grimaced, then offered a grin. "You okay?"
