New Computer and No Regrets

September 23rd, 2007 at 10:21 pm



I broke down and bought a lap top. It feels nice to have a computer again after not having one for almost 4 years. I ought a DELL and like it so far except I do not like the touch pad and will try to find my old mouse. I think it is in a box someplace.

I will share the wireless with a roommate who already has it. She was very nice about it and didn't really want any money but if it is cheap entertainment for me then I am happy to help. It should average about 15 a month so to me that is not bad.

It is nice to be able to sit and type out an email or something to friends without saving it for my lunch break.

I have extra money this month and i will put that toward the cc I want to pay off or into the bank into my car care account. I will decide once I get me paycheck on Thursday. I really hope they have the deductions done so I can figure out how upping my 401k deductions will affect my take home. I think that after 3 months of working for this position it will be setup correctly. Ugh it drives me crazy not knowing the break downs but with this position I don't pay SS taxes and State disability but i put more away into the mandatory retirement so there is a difference and i hope it is corrected.

    I bought my first laptop this year. I have had to use one for work and decided it would be easier to learn to use the touch pad and keyboard if I also used a laptop at home. Honestly, if you give it a try it does get easier. Now I LOVE my touchpad and the small keyboard...and I was a diehard fan of my mouse and regular keyboard.

    I also bought a little breakfast tray fom Walmart that I use for my 'desk' and I can sit in my recliner with my laptop on it and it doesnt transfer the heat to my legs. Love it!

    Congrats on your new puter...just keep working with it, I promise, it does get easier!!
