Mouse Balls

I don't know how they wrote this with a straight face. This was a real memo sent out by a computer company (IBM) to its employees in all seriousness. It went to all field engineers regarding a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite genuine. The engineers rolled on the floor! Especially note the last couple of sentences...

To: Whom this may concern

Re: Replacement of mouse balls

If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement.

Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method.

Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist off method.. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge.

Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately. It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction.

Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items.

Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer.

Good luck at the docs L4L! hearts

I'm having a day, my truck broke, Shadow won't put any weight on his back left leg at all and I will be in the corner working all day. I'm hoping that he just sprained something and it'll pass in a day. He started last night just before bed.

Have a great day all!

Hope your day gets better Ana!

Today we are spitting rain, but nothing big so far. They predict 2 storms to hit, but so far, in my little corner of Paradise, we are not getting much of anything. Just a nice little sheltered corner of San Diego County, close to the border, where the prevailing winds seem to just pass us by. Not all of the county, just my little area. Nice.

As for the new neighbors in the Squatter's house. Betcha think I forgot right? Not. I've been watching the activities and things are pretty calm after all the initial parties of the new owners. Worst thing is the junk vehicles which are appearing one by one in the driveway, and then being pushed into the back yard to sit under huge tarps. Dunno what the final plan is for those. BUT now, I see a 'Landscaping' truck out front, get my binoculars and see that the AWESOME, old fruit tree, some sort of tropical rare thing that looks like a pear and tastes like vanilla pudding, is now badly damaged. Since they moved in, they have been 'trimming' it little by little.

So of the 3 huge linbs that came from the ground to about 30 feet high, only ONE remains. The 2nd that I can see has been CUT and is lying on the ground. I think they are going to remove it entirely. Sad sad sad. Very rare tree and great fruit that neighbors all come to ask for and that the old guy used to bag up and distribute to everyone. They only last a few days before spoiling, but oh the taste! So I think this is the end of a proud and wonderful tree that provided fruit and shade. It's the last bit of shade in that yard. I'm guessing that the dropping fruit became a problem for the family since they put down Astro-Turf and it probably was making quite a mess. I'm in mourning. cry

Back from the docs. I have Pink Eye in both eyes from an untreated sinus infection...did not know that was possible. Anyway, wonderful hubby has been running around dropping off scripts and picking up meds while I'm sanitizing house. This is the first time I've had pink eye. My kids never had it.
