Mouse problems

I hate my mouse.

I really miss my optical mouse on my mac. I never had a problem highlighting, opening/closing docs, or positioning a cursor.

Sadly I'm working again in a PC environment and I find myself trying to use function keys that open nothing and relying more on my mouse to guide through my desktop. I forgot how much I hated working with a mouse that constantly goes in the opposite direction you want it to go in. Truly frustrating. There must be something about these LogicTech mice that are prone to fucking up each time.

Here's another guy whose having problems with his mouse as well. An optical one to boot. I hate this f'in mouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!

Don't get me started on my crappy recycled compaq monitor!

fem guy

There's this guy who sits a few cubes away from me who has the most annoying effeminate voice. He has to announce to the entire world that he's here otherwise he'll dissappear into fem boy land. I have no problem with adrogynous people--I was a big fan of "It's Pat" when it was on SNL.

I just find it annoying when you come into the office and hear blaring from the other side of the cube "Hi everyone! Guess who made it into work...me!"

Never understood why tigers at their young before till now.

Just a minor footnote: I've been seeing more news stories about people getting busted for revealing information about fellow employees online and getting fired. I find it kinda funny since office gossip has existed as long as businesses have existed. Now people are being let go because they decide to shoot the sh*t online so millions can read it?

Well then again, if I was twinkle toes I wouldn't want people passing by my desk saying "Hey you're the fruit loop fem guy I read about online ha ha!!"

Does anyone even read this blog to begin with?

Long time gone

I just realized my last post was back in April. Yikes! Well, to be honest with you not much has happened in that time. Let's see...

April -- Dealing with getting rid of my gardener. Nice old man but never around when you need him. Ended up buying a lawn mower and adding to my headaches.

May -- Took my nephews to Chiller Theater in Passaic. My nephew made me dish out ten bucks to take a picture with the girl who was in The Ring for about five seconds. What can I say, the kid is cute (the girl that is...)

June -- Started firing up the grill and began enjoying life beyond the stove.

July -- Went camping with the wife and amazed we made it back home alive. This year was a disaster seeing that the fire wood we had to cook with was moldy and ended up cooking everything with twigs and dried leaves. Ugh.

August -- No more grilling. After having several BBQs and eating BBQ for dinner, you realize too much of a good thing becomes tiring.

Sept -- I finally get out my job in the Jersey! End up starting a new job in the Flatiron district. Am really psyched to be back in my environment, the big city! Also realize how you forget how noisy and polluted the big city is. I used to enjoy buying cheese danishes and a coffee from the guy in the corner kiosk. Now its hard to buy that again when you have debris flying all around and the strange odors that permeate from the street gratings.

Oct. --- Have been at new job for approx a month. Have enjoyed wandering around during my lunch hour but as job becomes busier, get to enjoy less the city and find myself sitting more at my desk working late hours. Too tired at the end of the day to hang in the city and wishing to go back to my quiet little house in the burbs.

Hope to keep this updated.
