Water aerobics was fun last night. Sharon and i laughed so hard a few times i thought we'd sink and drown lolol At one point we had these "pool noodles"... they're about 6 feet long, like a hard sponge material, about 4 inches in diameter, like a long noodle... they float. Mostly kids play with them in the pool but we sometimes use them to lean back against to do exercises with. anyway, this time we're in the deep pool and she's got us straddling them like hobby horses or carousel horses, "bicycling" down the length of the pool and back. ooh err!!! Then we had to pair up, one behind the other, both still straddling the noodles, now they're long enough so that either end sticks up out of the water in front and in back of you. The back person holds onto the noodle of the one in front and the one in front uses their arms to swim them both up the pool. (don't jiggle that noodle, Share, oh yes yes YES! erm... anyone got a cigarrette?)

Later on we had these "flutter" boards, foam boards like mini surf boards that you can lie on and kick. Well she wanted us to sit on them. Just try to get something that wants to float under your backside and keep it there while you're trying to "swim" with your upper body. Mine slid out and flew into the next lane, nearly beaning a lane swimmer. Er.. scuse me, could you please float that back? Sharon couldnt' get the thing to stay at all and the woman that was helping her was nearly peeing in pool she was laughing so hard.

All in all an enjoyable class even if it does sound like total chaos to most of you! :)

Another entry for the I Hate Computers log

My Enter keys both stopped working on my keyboard here at work this afternoon. Pried them off, cleaned the crap, still nothing. Nada. Went and begged a new keyboard from Da Man and it still didnt' work!! Reboot. Worked. Ta Daaaa. WTF? This machine often has memory issues even though it's got quite a bit but as it's running on Novell and there's all sorts of firewall and Big Brother crap residing on it, It still has issues. I've just never seen it do something like that before.

They're ordering us new machines, those of us that are going to be learning Java. We need much better machines for the java tool so we're getting Pentium 4's, one gig of RAM, double processor, 40gig hard drive and cd burner/dvdrom with a 19 inch monitor. We don't get the nice thin monitors but i guess you can't have everything ;)
