Ninja Keyboard!
As you will recall in my post titled blanc. which I posted on Wednesday, November 29, 2006, I said this:
Anyway, I put the keyboard back together and apart from a few sticky keys (i and space) and some letter prints missing (o, a, s, d, f, h, k, l, left shift, x, c, n, m, ,, ., and right shift) it was going fine. But, looking at it today, I just thought, enough is enough. It has to go. I was getting sick of unsticking the keys everytime I was working on something.
I got a new keyboard when I got this new PC, but never plugged it in because I liked the exclusivity of being the only person who could operate my keyboard with the missing keys. It seems I have been doing myself a disservice. This new keyboard is ORGASMICALLY quiet. By orgasmic, I mean the quiet orgasms you learn to do when living at home so as not to get caught making the hand love.
It's soft to the touch too. Likes hands that haven't done a days hard work in their life. It's like shaking hands for me everytime I touch it ;)
It's so sleek and black and silver and is just simple. The way I like it. Although I will miss my multimedia keys (ie mute, volume control and calculator - I love that little guy) but hey, I'll deal. I can't hear myself typing at 200 words a minute now, so I doubt someone at the other side of the room will be able to either.
Speaking of people at the other side of the room, there is meant to be another 'designer' that comes in on Thursdays to learn what I do. You think he's here today? That's right. I guess that's good cos he's a bit of a toolbag. He makes those jokes that you just shake your head at. But if that wasn't all, he likes to make snide remarks about peoples' appearances and make fun of you to your face.
Several times now I've been on the brink of telling him to get fucked, but he'll squeal and then I'll be in deep shit. I'd rather not go through that.
I had a bad day last Thursday with things that sorta but not really went off the rails and people were trying to place the blame on me to dodge a bullet (something I'm well and truly used to being one of the youngest people here) and I just wasn't in the mood for any shit.
Tooly strolls in looking all smug and says something like "quiet morning huh?" I told him I wasn't in the fucking mood for stupid jokes so he should sit down and do his work. Things went pretty smoothly for the rest of the day ^_^
This is the guy you'll ask for something 5 times before he does it. I asked him for a drawing for a particularly urgent job on Tuesday, and he FINALLY emailed it to me today and says "here you go little guy". So I replied "About time Stretch. Only took you 3 days." Sure it's not the best comeback in the world, but it's better than just sitting back and taking it, or complaining.
Anyway, moving on.
Uh..
So how about that tea huh? Good old tea. I drink it black now with no sugar. It's a bit rough, but man it's good for the brain. Wakes me the fuck up like nothing else. LOL. Can you tell? Ok, I'm gonna go and finish off the little amount of work that I have to do so I can have a relaxing afternoon :)
I'll probably blog again later in the arvo. But then again, now that I've said that, I probably won't. But now I might. LOL! Damn vicious irony circles!
"Anyway, I'm working on his design this afternoon and I'm saving and saving, and it's all going well. I do a fairly big change after doing about 15 minutes of clipping mask around some cherries and click save again.It looked a little something like this:
"Could not complete you request because of an unknown error."
You've gotta be kidding me. So I try to remove certain elements that I know I can recreate quickly, or already exist and try to resave. Nada. This continues for about 20 minutes as my blood-pressure reaches bursting point. Finally, something looks like it's working and it's saving and saving, and then on the last bar. Kaputski.
I think it's time for a reboot.
I bite the bullet and shutdown Illustrator and reboot my computer. Oh, this is all at 4:55pm and I finish at 5.
Computer boots back up and I go to open the last file I had saved successfully.
It's corrupt.
Suddenly letters and numbers are showering down upon me as I realise I've put my fist through my keyboard."
