Priorities

I just found out that security no longer carries keys to the housekeeping areas because of their insistence on "controlling their inventory."

Yes.  Because I have access to scientific devices worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, an observatory, radioactive materials, dangerous chemicals, a live boa constrictor, the world's most complete giant beaver skeleton, key-making equipment, police and EMS radios, expensive musical instruments, and the private residences of over a thousand people, but what I really want to do is steal some Windex.

Insanity and Four Square

I suppose a blog with "Four Square" in the title and "young people" as a subject would be remiss not to note that for another twenty hours or so, an intrepid group of crazy people at Manchester College will be playing one long game of Four Square in order to beat the world record (29 hours).  You can watch them live here.  (Game will end at approximately 6:00pm EST, 2/26).

It's possible I'm over-committed.

My week:

9 credit hours.
32 hours of work.
5 hours of other work.
27 hours of studying, according to the 3/1 theory.

That's a 73 hour week.  BEFORE my thesis work.

In case you thought I was smart.

I have been having computer issues lately.  Without warning my computer will start highlighting things without me pressing the mouse button down, and will respond only to right-clicks.  I have restarted the computer, killed processes, torn my hair out, screamed, tried to do everything possible with only right-clicks (quite difficult)....

I just found that the difficulty was because my wireless mouse, which I have not been using, is sitting on top of my desk and occasionally gets a binder or book thrown on top of it, depressing the left mouse button.  Leaving my computer unable to differentiate when another left mouse button is pressed.
