Just a Click Away

Ever had a “day of inaccurate clicking”?

I have. That is to say, throughout the day I absolutely could not click on the item on screen that I wanted on the first try, and frequently not even on the second try. I just kept clicking on the next icon over, accidentally closing the program or locking the desktop. While I think we all mis-click now and then, for some reason the sporadic occurrences suddenly piled up on a single day for me, to deliver a singularly frustrating and tedious computer experience. The phrase “just a click away” may have been coined to indicate ultra-convenience, but trust me, always being one click away, and never quite getting the right click is extremely the opposite.

  1. How about ‘wrong programme days’? Have you ever had one of those days where you are constantly opening the wrong computer programme? Now and again, I find myself needing to access a particular file, but then open the wrong application. It’s okay when I do it once or twice, but when it’s five or six times a day, it can be a real pain.

  2. Well, I can’t speak for Conall, but I only wish that were the case with me! Actually, I put it down to the fact that I am easily distracted and therefore don’t always pay as close attention to what I am doing as I should do. That’s my story anyway, and I am sticking to it.
