I used to be the youngster

This is an actual conversation I had with my developer about 15 minutes ago. We were talking about wrist pain and track balls, mousing with your left hand, blahblahblah.

Me: I’ve had my track ball for years.
Dev: I had a track ball for my Mac when I was in elementary school, back in like the late 80s/early 90s.
Me: groan

My co-worker was in elementary school in the early 90s. Feel old? Me too.

Why you should read your horoscope

Okay, I know horoscopes are complete and total bunk. But this morning as I was having coffee, I inadvertently turned up the horoscope page from the Sunday paper that was still sitting on the table. (Yes, I also know it’s Thursday. Such is the state of clutter control at my house.) Here’s what mine read:

"Put arguments aside. You can’t reason folks out of positions they didn’t reason themselves into. Focus on social activities, family and friends during the week to come for the best results."

And what did I do instead? Well, on Sunday I had an *explosive* argument with (well, at) my unsuspecting boyfriend, and all week I’ve been working late and neglecting my friends and family. Would I have done any differently if I had read my horoscope on Sunday? The world will never know.
