i can use a computer now at work. i was given the login info for the computer at my desk. it was minor torture because it was just sitting there and i couldn't use, especially because i needed to do work. it's just so different here. i called the computing people to see if i could be given a temp login or just something so i could look up things online for my job. the response i received was like it's too much of a hassle, wait a week. so i was very surprised when about 20 minutes later, someone came over and gave me the login info.

then i go home and my mom tells me she got a mac and she can't use it 'cos the mouse doesn't work! wow. we had been talking about her possibly getting a mac for a couple years now and she finally did it. although recently i told her to wait a month or two because a new os just came out and she should wait until they patch the bugs. i guess she decided to take advantage of free shipping this month. i went over there and i don't know what her problem was. she was in the middle of registering it and nothing was wrong with the mouse. i think the system is just so new to her that. not just the os but even the mouse. i gave her a quick tutorial on some mac basics but i can tell i'm going to have to conduct a series of trainings.
