Cabin Pressure
Just before landing, I felt it: a drip. Then another.
Suddenly, I realized what I had done. I left my refillable water bottle in the overhead bin when I stowed my carry on.
Unfortunately, my laptop is in that bag too. It’s a personal device, but absolutely critical for this work trip. If that bottle spilled up there, I had just spent the last hour marinating my bag, and laptop, in filtered regret. Probably soaking whoever was in 14C along the way. In my panic, it was impossible to decide which outcome was worse.
