super charged…

Saturday, October 30, 2004

Does anyone else get super-statically-charged?

Everywhere I go, the moment I touch something metal, ZAP!

I spend 45-50 minutes in the car going to work, climb out and gather my things (knitting bag, purse), reach for the door to close it, and ZAP!!

Yeah, I’m one of those people who would probably go up in a ball of flame while pumping gas if I didn’t ground myself beforehand.

It’s also the reason why I no longer have anything to do with hardware upgrades on my computers.  I think I’ve fried at least three sound cards, and one of them I didn’t even open the case!  It was when we moved from our last apartment to our house, I carried my computer from the apt to the truck, then from the truck to the house.  Hooked up the computer, and lo and behold, no sound.  Yeah, I’m talented like that.

But anyway… anyone else have issues with static electricity?
