Had a class tonight at the local "County Technology Institute", read
loosecanon for all the gory details.
Schools are used to dealing with kids. Kids take it. When I was a kid, I took it too. Now I'm older and I'll tell the person behind the desk to stick it; in the proper language to not get me arrested but still turn their ears a delicate shade of mauve. They're obviously depending on their clientele to put up with the fact that they're so blatantly incompetent that their chosen career path is the administrative office of aburn out technology institute.
Incompetence just really annoys me. If you can't do the job then go wear the fucking paper hat and ask "do you want fries with that?" as you hunt and peck the keys with the pretty pictures!
Ok... better... speaking of keyboards... (I love this segue :p )
I'm seriously considering this keyboard. I do need a new keyboard at work. Still, I don't know if it's simple amusement or a burning need to show my macho geekness. I already have a geek clock at work and I'm pretty sure I spook my co workers with the 733t sk1llz. Maybe I should tone it down?
Years ago, IBM compatible PCs were made by IBM and the keyboards were massive. The base, before any parts where laid in, was solid metal. You could take someone out with a well aimed IBM qwerty. The fun thing was, the keys themselves were capped. The key was blank moving part secured to the board, the face plate of the key was a hard cover.
The caps could popped off without much effort and reattached. Oh, the fun we had rearranging all the keyboards in the lab to have their letters in alphabetical order. No comprende qwerty? Tu screwed! The touch typists liked it because the uninitiated would avoid the "broken" keyboards, leaving them a free workstation.
