Some of my coworkers and I went downstairs in the student union building at our college campus to talk to someone there. We came down to discover a new pool table, foosball-type table, and a shuffleboard table. I've always thought shuffleboard was something either old people played, or young people played because it was the only game provided on the cruise ship. Our friend spread tiny grains of some kind of silicon all over the table to help the game's little pucks along, and we ended up playing our whole lunch time.
I must admit, all of us got waaaaaay too excited about successfully sliding a puck down a slab of wood,
but we had the spirit of competition. Also, my friend Jesse, who won the majority of our first games, aptly stated "Finally! A sport I'm actually good at!" In his defense, he's also good at flinging plastic water bottle caps at my face. Sadly, he's made that a sport, too.

Other good witty banter heard during a game:
+ "The pucks usually stay ON the table."
+ When a throw comes up waaaay too short: "Nice throw. Your husband teach you that one?"

Work bought me a laptop. I'd been using a desktop with Windows Vista on it, forcing myself to put the new OS through the ringer for a while. When the new computer arrived, however, I couldn't bring myself to wipe out the Windows XP Pro that came on it. Vista has been a labor of love, complete with incompatibilities, crashes, bugs, quirks, slowdowns, and frustrations.
I'm still going to use Vista at home, as we use the media center features for playing back music, video, and pictures to our TV. I'm tempted every day, though, to run screaming back to XP, as just about everything I do in Vista reminds me that it just isn't all it is touted to be. Sure, there are times where it shines, but those times are far outweighed by the annoyances.
People say to be patient, that Vista will come into its own once it gets patched. That's a distant promise that can't prove it will meet my needs. I've got work and play I'd like to enjoy now, while I'm young. The time to use Vista is NOT now, and I don't know when that will be. I'm stuck with it at home for the unforeseeable future, so I guess I can chalk this time up to experience.

Not to be a total negative, the laptop is a blast to use. With a software-based phone on it, I can pretty much be anywhere at work in my "virtual office". This is good, as I can only take so much artificial lighting before I start feeling like someone out of Joe vs the Volcano. The saddest part of the laptop was Sunday, when the hard drive decided to just die. Some days, it is just hard to love computers. :/
