Last entry of the year
The last few months have gone by pretty quickly. I guess being really busy with work was part of that. It seems like just yesterday it was the beginning of October. And here it is now, the last day of 2004.
More computer updates! :) My sister gave me a Logitech MX1000 wireless laser mouse for Christmas. It’s a damn nice mouse. Wireless is great to have, and it’s just as smooth (or more) as my corded Intellimouse Optical. The battery life on this is supposed to be pretty good. It has its own internal battery, and has a charging base. Quick charging time too, I think. Now I just need to get myself a new keyboard. Maybe even a wireless Logitech one. I’m not too impressed with Microsoft’s current keyboard offerings.
And I bought a 17″ LCD monitor yesterday, I love it. Doesn’t have a brand name on it anywhere, and it’s just analog. But it was cheap - just $298 CAD at Wal-Mart for the Boxing Week sale. So I got my normal 10% discount, too :) The screen looks really nice, clear at various resolutions. And much larger than I’m used to. My old 17″ CRT was really only 16″ or so viewable, and I’ve been using a 15″ CRT for a few months. It’s a nice change.
To celebrate the new year… I’m working! Heheh. This past week has just been full of work for me. I worked on Christmas Day for something like 11 hours. Plus 4 other normal shifts. Plus the one tonight. So that’s a lot of overtime/doubeltime, as well as two days of holiday pay. Looking forward to that paycheque in two weeks. I’ll get to relax next weekend, I have five days off then.
See you next year!
