'My Corduroyed Life' - Mark A's Journal

22nd July, 2004. 12:47 pm. You Learn Something New...

Goodness gracious...

For the past 22 days, I have been getting increasingly frustrated by random punctuation not working whilst typing on Maud (my work PC). For example, I wanted an @ and I was getting a ", or I wanted a £ but was getting a #. So very, very irritating. I really thought it must be me doing something wrong, and didn't have the guts to ask colleagues.

I finally got to the end of my tether, and decided that it wasn't me, and poor old Maud was fucked, so I asked a techy in the department. It turns out that Americans have a different keyboard set-up to ours. I had no idea!!! All it needed was two clicks, and everything was they way it should be.

a) Dur
b) Phew

Have fun,

M

Current mood: relieved.
Current music: Lying Is So Easy by Naked Lounge.

22nd July, 2004. 11:44 pm. Priorities

Obviously, mine are the most important...

Okay, first thing's first, I'm a bit drunk...

it's 12ish on a weekday and I'm in Eccles town centre. I got a tram home. My personal CD player has just conked out and I need new batteries.

Ding dong: the church bells are ringing.

So let me get this straight: at 12am and I can get religion, but I can't get some AA batteries?! Aren't we supposed to be bloody capitalist?!

(Insert deliberate irony here) Goddamnit!

Have fun,

M

Current mood: annoyed.
Current music: Nothing... obviously..
