Mental Exercise

Step 1: Kill the mouse attached to your computer
Step 2: Complete every function of your job without using the mouse
Step 3: Repeat step 2 without talking out loud to yourself
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 without using swear words
Step 5: Go 5 minutes without reaching for the mouse

My brain actually hurts right now! That's a good thing, right? Dr.
BrainAge would be so proud!

Yet another reason you rock! My mouse would have learned to fly... out of the fifth floor picture window mind you... or maybe into the atrium. Oh, and there would have been swearing as well! :)

I;m with Scott on this one.

My response (after the initial urge to toss the mouse against the wall) would be to go on strike or a sick out until someone comes up with a damned mouse. You can't possible be expected to work under those conditions! Geez, what are they running there a sweatshop?!

Actually, the Secretary who secretly runs the hotel was supposed to bring me one. I called her around 2:00 when I had to restart my computer, and she said she'd be up in a little bit. At 7:00, after my co-worker left, I took the mouse off of her computer and used it for the rest of the night.

Yesterday, I brought a spare from home. A new one has been ordered.

I could have switched computers, but we were pretty slow, and it really was a fun mental challenge. Hard, but fun. And I re-learned all sorts of keyboard commands!

As a tech geek I can totally do this almost easily, but that's just me...
