Grrrrr!

Once again, I've completely worn out a mouse by typing using the onscreen keyboard. The left button gets all double-clicky, so without going back and editing what I type via the onscreen keyboard, this is what comes out on screen:

Sometimes it's worse than that. I'm trying to write a poster proposal for a toxicology meeting in November, so the double-clicky gets really annoying really quickly. So, I've decided to read until my PT appointment this afternoon, then go buy YET ANOTHER mouse so I can get some work done.

Speaking of getting work done, I need about another six hours in the day until further notice.

That's aggravating. I didn't even know that could happen. Did I ever tell you about when I was in grad school and took the ball out of this chick's mouse to piss her off. She had to run around saying, some stole my mouse ball all day. It was great. I got the idea from the student I had when I was teaching High School who stole ALL the mouseballs from the Computer lab and one of the teachers put an ad in the school newspaper "Will the person with the mouseballs please return them."

Sarah -- This is the third mouse we've bought since late December. It's very strange, though, because I have the same brand of mouse with my laptop that I've used for YEARS with no problem.
