Dang it ...


The batteries in my wireless mouse just died. Apparently I'm going out on my lunch break to buy a pack of batteries.


Until then - I'll have to deal with my company issued corded mouse that actually goes with my computer. It feels weird to use it - and I'm sure I'm going to tangle the cord in a million things before lunch! :) Oh well ... early lunch break it is! Maybe I'll get some unhealthy food while I'm out!

You are working on Good Friday? Wow. Here in Canada it's a statutory holiday. Not even the grocery stores are open...

[whiteink]

Yup - I'm at work. Everything is open here in the states. Post offices, banks, etc. It's not a national holiday, so work doesn't stop. Welcome to living in a secular country. I'm sure some places are closed, but it's at the choice of the business owners.

Heck ... we have people coming in tomorrow to work some overtime. Business doesn't stop for religious holidays in the U.S.

(And I'll stop here before I get on my soapbox and start ranting.)

The only place I know of that is closed today is a pie shop I deliver the paper to. Has a sign out front that says "McMillian's Pie Shoppe will be closed Good Friday. Have a Happy Day."

But that is a little private bakery.. The lady that runs it even lives in the back. So it was a personal choice.

I am going to buy a new wireless mouse today :p I bought a new laptop yesterday (WAHOOO!) so I am gonna celebrate with getting it it's own mouse since I despise touch pads!!

[whiteink]

Yeah. I'm not a fan of touchpads either. And I'm really not a fan of my corded mouse. The cord is constantly tugging or tangled or something. So I bought a wireless one and I love it.

Thankfully my office doesn't care if I plug in a non-office mouse as long as I buy my own batteries. My old job would not have allowed it. Then again ... my mouse at my old job had a rollerball in it instead of a laser ... tech was a bit behind the times there.

This touch pad is kind of irritating too.. But I did want the laptop with the bluray player in it! LOL.. and I use a mouse anyway.. I may have just broken my other mouse too.. It just stopped working. Weird.

[whiteink]

blueray player ... there's something I'll probably never own ... in a laptop or as a separate player.

[klingonlady]

I never expected to either and wasn't looking for one with blueray either when I went into the store. But the one with the smaller screen size and no blueray player was only like $40 cheaper so I decided WHY NOT?!

yeap, don't blame you - I much prefer the wireless. Although, my new ergonomic mouse is corded it doesn't seem to get tangled, but that could be because I have it in a good position. I can't tell you how much better my hand feels since I stated using it; I am practically pain free - so I will put up the cord.

My wireless mouse is shaped better too ... I'm realizing that after using the corded mouse for a while - I think the shape of the wireless mouse is helping my wrist and I didn't even realize!
