I have to say that I'm getting sick of dealing with pop-up problems at work. Why can't people just come to work and do their job? Why must they play games or browse the internet tirelessly until their system is completely unusable for work purposes? Why, why, why?

My keyboard died on me this morning. I think this is the first time I've ever had a keyboard die. It acted as though the ALT or CTRL key was stuck, but I confirmed that no keys were stuck. A new keyboard did the trick - I had one floating around so it wasn't a big deal.

I finished reading Ender's Game. Fortunately, there was some payoff at the end. I wasn't very impressed until the last chapter, but it turned out okay. I was surprised to learn that it was Ender's game. What a trip! I hope I didn't ruin anything for those of you who haven't read it...

I asked my boss about year-end reviews today. He said that he has not received the approved review from his boss yet, but expects to have it this week. The official review will happen sometime during the first couple days of next week.
