Hil, what did you do in a past lifetime to warrant such asshats for office mates??
As for laptop & long typing, can you buy a keyboard and USB into the laptop? It's what I do at my work desk. I hate using the laptop keyboard. No number pad, palms get warm. Blargh.
one of them says that the reason that New Orleans still has a lot of sections that haven't been rebuilt is that FEMA gave gift cards to each of the survivors to use on rebuilding, and a lot of them spent them on alcohol and pornography instead.
Can we just ban people from talking about Katrina?
Oh, YUM. That sounds excellent.
Thanks, it was if I do say so myself. I used Trader Joe's whole wheat dough for the first time, and it was also yum!
I might try getting an external keyboard and mouse for my laptop if the computer situation gets too bad, but that'll take up a bunch of space on my desk, which has not enough space already.
Do any companies make some kind of stand for a laptop so that the screen will be at eye level? When I try to type with the computer on my desk, it always seems like the screen is much too low.
And speaking of completely other things, here's a terrific tribute to the late lamented plus-size magazine Mode! Someone has put scans of issues online. I wish someone would bring this magazine back--it was really terrific.
Man, I *loved* Mode. It was a kickass magazine. I'm going to have to check out the scans.

Yes! Just like that. Thanks!
I have an
icurve and like it.
I *was* obsessively updating LJ, though, with such exciting tales as "I Have A Cold" and "I STILL Have A Cold" and "Ben & Jerry's Tour, Woo-Hoo!"
I was reading it! Also, mention of apple cider doughnuts reminds me that there's an orchard at the very tip-top of the next mountain over from me that makes their own cider and doughnuts. Yum. I should go back there soon.
Ok, i need an hour of real estate~ma. Wrote my first ever offer on a really really sweet and awesomely amazing (offered at about 30k less than they could be getting) house yesterday....the seller and seller agent are meeting in the next hour to go over the three offers made yesterday (including mine.) According to the seller agent, the sellers are looking at people more than offers, so i wrote them a long letter detailing home search and why i'm the most awesomest buyer ever (not in those terms) and should have an answer in the next hour. {fingers crossed}
