So... Tuesday. I'm very busy

So... Tuesday.

I'm very busy with work, and I have a project looming that I need to begin planning in earnest so that it will go smoothly.

However, I can't do that, because I have apparently been blessed with a myriad of people who lack basic point and click computer skills.  Yesterday, I literally had a user call me because she was worried about the fact that AN ICON ON HER DESKTOP WAS HIGHLIGHTED WHEN SHE CLICKED ON IT.

I am a man of great patience and I love all of the people I work with.  They are, without exception, some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.  I enjoy working with them, and I don't mind answering basic questions about computer use.  HOWEVER there is a limit to what I can help you with.  Really.  If the use of a MOUSE is a problem for you, then I'm not really sure how I can help you further.  It makes me head hurt to imagine the software change we have coming up in a few months.  We'll ALL be lost then.

Other than that, life is good.  I am off to Austin today to get started on the AGLPC Voter Registration Project.  Should be lots of fun.  I get to see a lot of my friends when I'm in Austin, too.  Should be great.  Special Bonus:  I'm carpooling to Austin with a friend, so I can have a cocktail or two this evening, too.

That should help me deal with my user, who will once again ask me on Wednesday how to reply to an email in Outlook. (Um, just click the button at the top of the email that says "Reply").

Oh yeah.  It's a good day.
