Back on board, captain

by deana24 @ 2008-04-21 – 08:53:37

While I've been away from work the computer fairy has been.

She's bought me a new black computer and a big screen. And I mean A BIG SCREEN.

It's massive. I feel like I should be checking data entry for Jean Luc Picard somewhere off the third quadrant.

It's bigger than my tele!

Keyboard is useless. Light reflects off shiny black keys giving effect of blinding desert sun. Can I pull off sunglasses in the office?

No matter i've just dragged out the old one with half the letters worn off, at least it doesn't make me all squinty.

Right - onwards, into battle. let's see what's been happening on board while I've been on shore-leave. Someone pass me my phaser, I'm bound to need it, I've a planning meeting this morning.

I'm an old hack, darling. I still pound at these things as though they were made of cast iron and I learned to type to be a newspaper reporter, not some admin queenie!

        No the Advertiser, my first paper. I lived up Gee Cross. I think it was a 210 fromm town but I can't remember the local one. Small world. So did you work at the BEN then?

  I'm impressed. Mine has bits of some, I've half an 'e' and no 'n' and a corner of my 'o' left. I've only had this keyboard six months.

    I think the lack of letters gives it character

I've noticed some keyboards with hardly any print left on the keys. Aren't they dirty things? I'm trying to remember how Kim & Aggie advised to clean them!!

  I've worn mine off - it's not dirt - honest!

Sunglasses in the office? Some may get the idea that you have a hangover...unles they look like Geordies visor

I may have missed it somewhere but what job do you do?

By the way I can't get used to my new computer at all, so I sympathise with you

  I'm it, in terms of communications, for a new university. So all the internal comms, press office work, pr, website copy etc etc. It's never dull, I'll give it that!!

Oh, give baldy keyboard a new lease of life. When you can touch type, it really doesn't matter if it's shiny, designerish, wholesome - until someone instructs you to touch X,Y,Z keys to deal with a problem, and you realise you don't actually know where they are because you never have to think about them.
