Feminine Plus 1

Today my company welcomes a handful of interns. Preparations for these interns were planned out at least a month beforehand. The office layout was repositioned, old staff (including me) used this opportunity to change our “cubicles”.

New PC’s and laptops were brought in to accomodate the interns. Out of some unknown curse, one of the PC’s was lacking a mouse. There is always a shortage of mice for some reason. Out of some weird management decision, a quick “fix” was to confiscate the mouse for my laptop to replace the missing mouse.

I was not angry nor upset. I happily requested for a new mouse as I felt it was a right for me to use a mouse at my workplace. My request was not rejected. However to my horror, the new mouse came in a packaging that used pink as the forecolour. I lamented on how the mouse was pink in colour. Comforting myself I removed the packaging and found the mouse to be silver with a slight tint of pink. I tried to convince myself it was bronze. It really did look bronze.

Fine. A bronze mouse with white as the secondary colour. No problem. A slight downgrade from black but it’s better than pure pink.

Hooked it up to my laptop. To my horror, mouse had internal red LED lighting, this lighting made the white secondary colour into pink, and the bronze primary colour reflected that colour.

At least it doesn’t appear too pinkish and if I don’t move the mouse the red LED will not be lit….

Sigh, all in all, I still am the only person to use a “pink” mouse in the office….
