The Peach That Never Was & Advent

At work I got a new PC.
New like I have it since January, but since there were “license-problems” and then kinda hardware-problems, I have it but now. The customer switched from owning to leasing, so I lost nearly a whole year of those three.

At home I still have Windows XP, so Windows 7 needs time to adjust to, same goes for Photoshop.
Since time is rare atm a colleague helped me having both PCs parallel.

Colleague: Switch the monitor now.

I went down to the right on my left monitor with the mouse … and… couldn´t reach the button. I repeated this twice until I saw… umm, yep. I need my finger for that!!!

Makes me remember how I managed not to laugh, when my “boss” and friend, who works with one monitor, sat at my PC, together with a customer. I had a peach on my desk, right beside the mouse.
She took the peach and tried to navigate, looking hard from one monitor to the other.
Guess I was just too baffled to laugh.

What we caught up long and loud :-)
When I told her what happened to me today, she wrote back the other day a colleague and friend of ours took a breadroll – seems to happen a lot with the mouse.
My case was funny, too, but actually quite stupid, huh? How could I loose reality so much??

You didn´t loose yours, the pics are totally unrelated. I had a day off yesterday and finally put my Adventkalendar together :-)
My friend P started this now tradition of self-made calendars the year my Dad died, to make the time a bit more easy, joyful.

Oh, and I “cooked”:
So yum! Right to the point with the eggyolk still liquid:
When I went grocery-shopping for this, I couldn´t resist this PJ (and I needed another one, too):
Too cute, no? Sometimes it´s an advantage to be as small as a kid (see labeled "kids"), 164, in centimeter, to the point my size.
There were also PJ´s for women available - not as cute and 10 € more expensive, same size!

The trousers:
Love it! Happy weekend!

  3. Hi Iris, don't laugh I would have probably done the same with the peach hahaha! Major technophobe here!! Yes we do still have the free Cat buses her in Perth, such a super service that makes getting from A to B a lot quicker, especially if you're wearing high heels!!

  4. I wouldn´t call it technophobe - guess we´re all so used to just expect a mouse beside the PC, we grab what we get :-)
    But this happened about 8 years ago and when you´re the on-looker - and see it the first time... bummer! Good for some funny(!)-laughs, still.

    Yips, the cats are just such a great service. For free - unthinkable of over here, sadly. With time counting down, loved it a lot. But we´re always way behind over here...
