Click

My days lately have been dominated by work.  Its not all bad, only because I know in a few short weeks, it will all be over...but I can I just share a pet peeve real quick before I go ignore my dirty dishes to lay in bed to catch up on all the new shows...

I have been training our election judges on how to use our electronic pollbook.  This involves a computer.  And even after lifetime judges challenge me on new information ("Well in 2008, ...), even after the guy eating popcorn snarfs his popcorn but is sure to leave a popcorn trail all throughout the building, even after the 60-something's shush each other...my main pet peeve will still be this:  When people don't know whether to click once, or to doubleclick on something.  Maybe I should just get over it and count myself lucky enough to be born into the generation that just gets it.  But COME ON.  If you hover and you see an arrow, click twice.  If you hover and see a hand, click once.  Its that simple.  Am I right??  These sweet volunteers are clicking their hearts out, getting lost, finding screens they should never even find, getting impatient, etc.  Meanwhile, I am thinking, thank you Jesus that my children will never not know how to operate a computer.

Night night!
