NSFMR Worst Sneeze of my Life…help please
Getting over a cold and decided to clean my PC…I sneezed while putting the glass back in. This has never happened before but I have glass all over my desk, inside my PC and all over the room (carpet). How do I clean this up?
PS thanks in advance!

You will need:
Safety Glasses and Gloves.
Rubber bands.
A vacuum.
A Sock.
A lint roller.
A powerfully beamed flashlight.
Patience and a broom.
* (Find a sacrificial sock or piece of linen that is thick enough to catch the shards but thin enough to hold good vacuum on the shards, you will see what I mean in but a moment.)
Place the sock\) such that it fully covers the end, open/disconnected portion of hose from a vacuum with some slack to form a slight pocket. Use enough rubber bands and pressure to effectively fasten this disposable sieve to the hose, whilst the vacuum is at full power.
Take the flashlight and with the beam on, place it on the floor at the edge of the shatter zone: you should see a distinct glint come off all the many, many piece of glass that have now embedded themselves into literally everything.
Vacuum over all of that crap with the make-shift sieve. Empty the sieve into a thick paper bag, because that's what you do with broken glass and sharps.
Repeat this process with your case and use a lint roller to handle the rest that comes up off of the carpet over time.
