Evil Oddie

A couple of things have happened regarding insurance.  We have finally received some money for the rental house.  It isnt even a third of what we’ve spent, but it’s still something - YAY!!

The other thing about insurance is that during the big storms in the Brisbane area, we were unlucky enough to receive damage to our house.  It’s really got me thinking if we’ve done something evil and this is Karma kicking our butts.  In no way is our house one of the badly damaged houses that’s had the roof blown off or the house has been blown away.   We have what is known as a flat roof with box gutters.  So when Mother Nature unleashed it’s fury, the roof and gutters couldn’t cope with the amount of water.  We were left with a swimming pool in our kitchen.  It flowed down the walls, in all the cabinets, and onto the floor.  Once there was enough water, it started leaking through the kitchen floor and through to the Office which is directly under the kitchen.  The office smelt for quite a while.

So at the moment, I’m really enjoying cooking all of our meals on our camping stove!  

I’ve never really worried about the amount of time that I’m on the computer / keyboard.  However, in the past month or so, Glen’s been complaining about sore arms / wrists.  It’s pretty much just RSI seeing he’s on his PC most of the time.  Yes, he’s a geek and if he’s not working, he’s playing a game or something.

So I asked work if I could get an Ergonomic Keyboard.   I picked it up from UMart on Friday and today’s my first day using it.  I have never used an ergonomic keyboard and it’s quite different to the qwerty keyboard.  I’ve noticed I’m hitting a lot of wrong keys and I must’ve cheated a lot with the wrong fingers / hands on the old keyboard.

I spose I’m a lot better now than I was first thing this morning, but its all fun for a Monday.  I’ll just have to get one for home cause I don’t think it will be easy going to and from this to a qwerty.
