tvordljI've got a new laptop at work. Well it's not new, it's one my coworker had and I thought I'd take that because she had things installed that I could use. Except most of what she had i had to upgrade anyway. What a pain that all is, too. Trying to get the right version of this to work with the version of that and no, that isn't working so try a different one. Gahh...
It's a nice, light machine, bigger screen than my old one but the screen resolution is too fine but it only gives me a choice of three settings and the other are not right either, I want one in between. Maybe when I hook it up to the monitor I'll have more choice. that's what I'm mainly doing anyway or at least with the big monitor, the resolution it's at now will be easier to read. I have to use my reading glasses with it and I suppose I probably would anyway. The old one is a little workhorse, 5 years old if it's a day and there's nothing really wrong with it but it's living on borrowed time really and has some anomolies that I had to fix with work arounds. I won't let it go until the new one is working exactly how i need it to work and at the moment it's still giving me grief.
Been warm and humid here the past few days and when it's like that, it's quite warm in the apartment. I don't know what we'd do if we didn't have the ceiling fan in the bedroom.
And ... Game of Thrones. Whoah! No spoilers but shit just got real. It's a very interesting development and it's going to be pretty exciting. I don't know if the result of it will play out next week in the finale or if they'll leave it for the next season which will be the last one.
Outlander season three starts in September so we're looking forward to that, too.
The big news here is a huge Ikea store opening up next month. We had one here many years ago but they closed it because they thought there wasn't the population to support it even though it wasn't really a very large one. This one will be the biggest one in eastern Canada apparently. It's enormous! The catalogues are being delivered in the city now though we haven't got ours yet. It feels like we felt as kids waiting for the Sears and Eatons Christmas catalogues!
