Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy!

It’s been a productive half hour, to say the least. I took Bella on her walk since Sean’s knee is acting up, I started a load of laundry, got all of the garbage taken care of and now I’m putting my credit card away because I just purchased another monitor. For a while now I’ve been looking for the same monitor I own so when I went and setup a dual monitor configuration, things would be uniform. Up until this evening, I was unable to locate this monitor. I logged onto Microcenter tonight while I was looking for a monitor for Sean and happened to come across the exact same one that I currently own. I jumped for joy, pulled out the card, had Sean search for the proper adapter and then checked out. It should be here by Wednesday, at the absolute latest.

I’ll have Sean set it up and configure it for me and then I’ll go from there. He’s in the market for a new monitor because the one I gave him is on the verge of death. I offered him the ability to use the one I just purchased for a few weeks so that he can get some money paid off on his credit cards and then go from there but he’s standing ground and refusing. It’s annoying because you can barely see anything on that monitor and he has to sit right on top of it in order to read anything, which is HORRIBLE for someone’s eyes. I’m a good three feet away from my screen and even mine hurt after a while.

Anyhow, I figured the dual-configuration would help me out. I’m always bouncing from window to window and it’s to a point now where it’s driving me bananas. So, to hold off on getting that iMac for a few months, I’ll setup the dual monitors and use the right for design work (since it will more than likely be right in front of me) and then the left for IM’s, email and other stuff. I’m just going to have to do some cleaning up because my desk is overloaded with water bottles at the moment. I should probably invest in a few gallons because these tiny 10oz bottles are going rather quickly. I just bought a 24-pack yesterday and now I’ve only got about 10 left. That’s 140oz in a day, which is about a gallon. It just hurts to drink my crystal light, even sugar free drinks are evil to my broken molar at the moment. Plain water is just about all I can stand, it sucks but it’s warming up down here and staying hydrated is just the way to go I guess.
