Trackpad Hell part 2

[Opti]

So, today I landed in trackball hell part 2.

One of the duties of the temp job includes using a laptop only

out-fitted with a trackball, not even my nice Lenovo/Thinkpad trackball cheat.

No mouse just trackpad.

Triple click supposedly will highlight a whole segment instead of one word

with a double click, but thus far, I've used someone else to demonstrate and do.

Curse you Microsoft! Curse you Smart phone users... ok maybe not ... still

would it be so hard to make things easier ...

Please share your I hate computers stories and

stupid things I did with computers at a job.

I also accidently knocked over a cup of tea.

It got the coursebook pick sheet, the laptop, and my personal book list

of cool Princeton course books I've seen & I want to see if my library has, etc.

Great maneuver in front of the owner of the book store.

I just use a mouse with my laptop.  I'm too stupid to make the trackpad thingy work.

There's no usb port?  That would drive me crazy enough to get my own mouse.

I'm sure there is. All the laptops are in use because its crunch time.

I suppose I could see if the other laptop that is used for this task

is mouseless too.

Luckily I don't really need to cut and paste often for that task.

But me on low sleep with a track-pad and no mouse, bad combination!

Thankfully my only big screwup was when I made the strategic error

of bringing my cup of tea to finish from lunch. I will go back to water

only even though the hair-dryer would still have been used for the pick sheet.

(There's a big one on one of the tables, so books can be re-shrink wrapped.)

JL, the odd thing is I think both computers used to ring up charge

orders have mice. I don't use the mouse because of how the POS

program is implemented.
