Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And that's when I lose it.

Then never take it off. That is not a built in problem.

I have thought about getting a keyboard for my iPad. Generally do t need one because mostly it's web browsing rather than typing, but I think it cuts down on my interactions as opposed o passive reading. I find it harder to type on the iPad than on the phone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

like trackpads, because the first thing I do with them is turn off "tap to click" and turn the responsiveness down in general.

"Tap to click" is God's gift to computer users.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ugh, this is the tech version of cilantro. Haaaaaaaaate "tap to click."

The entire trackpad on my MBP *is* the button to click. That was a weird thing to get used to, but now I love it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, I lost track that we were still on notebooks, not laptops. That makes more sense.

Yeah, I do think I comment less, or less expansively, since I use the iPad so much. Y'all can decide if that's a bug or a feature.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've become increasingly intolerant of non-Mac trackpads. I keep trying to do multi-touch gestures on my work laptop and when they don't work I get annoyed at it.

I am with tommy. I don't understand why I'd want to click some other way. There's a button right there where my fingers are!

I'm not signed up with Threadless, so I can't vote for any of their sock contenders, but there's some pretty great stuff there. I like the hearts and the snowflakes, and the Spock.

OKTHANKGOD. The new director thought my work last night was "fantastic". I was so nervous, you have no idea. I mean, when you don't know someone well enough to know what they like, and don't know the project well enough to be a subject matter expert, all I can think of is the projects on which I failed to impress.

But so far, so okay.

Because books.

I'm using my dad's ThinkPad temporarily, and I'd forgotten how to use the nub at first. It's actually a really sturdy little machine, though.

OKTHANKGOD. The new director thought my work last night was "fantastic".

Yay!

You guys, I've been eating Cobb salads with no avoacados all week since the ones I bought hadn't ripened yet, and today I'm finally eating one WITH avocado in it, and it is SO MUCH BETTER.

Is there like an avocado CSA program where I can buy a timeshare in someone's Southern California backyard and they send me avocados?
