I've had my laptop for over a year and all that time I'd been meaning to buy a separate mouse for it because the trackpad is kind of annoying. I finally got a mouse last week and today I remembered that I hadn't played minesweeper because it's too slow without a mouse. So what did I do this afternoon instead of writing my proposal/reading/planning experiments/organising/anything else on my to do list? I gave myself RSI in my right index finger by obsessively playing the expert level of minesweeper. I did at least solve it once and improve my times for the other levels. Do you think that achievement will compensate for the inability to answer questions at my qualifying exam?
Hmm... I just realised this may not be the sort of thing to admit to a mainly-faculty academic blogging audience... (not sure if a couple of visits counts as an audience, but it was kind of scary to see that anyone had been here)
