Procrastination is gonna kill me.

Not FML just yet, but I left myself with almost no room for error.

Some of our best minds were procrastinators:

"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."

-Mark Twain

That would explain why I only remember him writing like three books his entire life...

Fuck brought up feelings.

My laptop doesn't fit inside a certain hipster messenger bag. It's custom, so I can't return it. It would fit if the laptop was just a tiny bit smaller (not even an inch). Taking it to a luggage repair shop, going to see what they can do.


And yes Vlambo, a backpack would've held it. Cheaper too, likely.

You can pick your laptop, and you can pick your bag, but you can't pick your laptop bag.

I hate volleyball so much.  Why on earth does everyone around here love it for sports PT?

Volleyball is lame. Unless it's high school girls volleyball. Then it's awesome.

[/quote]That's what you get for posting an advice thread and then ignoring literally all of the advice given.

How big is your laptop? I have a couple spare bags taking up space in my closet. Probably not as stylish, but you can cover it in patches and tiny buttons and noone would notice. Say you picked it up from a thrift store and no more questions will be asked.

I spent too much cash on the bag to just throw it out.  :-\ I'm going to take it to a local luggage repair place and see if they can extend it. If not, I could always try my hand at it and do it the redneck way.

[/quote]You were concerned with build quality, so I wouldn't go disassembling your expensive bag. Either keep it for use later with a smaller laptop, or resell it on ebay or to a buddy at school or something.

Normally I'd be ok with this, getting a change to do my 'Merican duty and all. But, the summons date is dangerously close to a 5-day business trip to Minnesota. So yeah, this might fuck some stuff up.
