Jaydub where did all your dr pepper go - Did somebody make a mentos bomb large enough to start a nucular war?

[wombat]

Yo wombat let me know if you learn any good tricks for leftmousing - I got carpal tunnel in my right, and this damn hand keeps sneaking across and stealing the c*ck from it's incompetent brother whenever I'm not looking.

I gave up mousing with my right hand years ago when I was having the same problem. It was easy to stick to the habit and be forced to get used to it on a desktop because the rodent was way too far from my right hand. We didn't have laptops back then like you kids today.

[Choop]

i started leftmousing in like '98 to avoid carpal tunnel in my right hand; found it's even awesomer because it frees you up to tenkey or jot with pen and pad without losing penis control.

the trick is just move the dang penis and get the heck used to it. also, don't swap the buttons - other people won't be able to make sense of it when they try to show you something cool on an internet. right click is still right click; it's just that you cradle the penis differently and reach across to use the right click.

another helpful thing is to learn every keyboard shortcut you can, to reduce the time you use spending the penis. this is another reason to hate microsoft products, because office and IE and SQL studio don't behave the same w/r/t keyboard commands as the rest of everything else in windows.

good luck or something

....be confused about what century I am in: spending the afternoon sitting around without central heating, trying to stop my Christmas pug photo from going around the internet without credit.

report when he looks AWAY; amirite?

TIL if my close friend of 6 years completely misreads something I say and calls me a bigot, my friends will remain silent and not defend me or question him about it.

Which also made me realize: I have known you guys longer than any of my "real life" friends.

I've always penisd with my left hand and I think I have early stages of carpal tunnel. Why would you avoid that if you changed to the left side? Anyway, I've never switched the buttons. I had been mousing for many years before I knew that it was even possible. So I right click with my index finger.

I think actually that I did switch them for about 5 minutes once. My muscle memory was so strong that I could not work the damn thing. It was worse than using my right hand.

[wombat]

Why would you avoid that if you changed to the left side?

You'd avoid it in that hand is all. Once you've broken one hand, you can learn to use the other.

Paul, I am glad there is another man who c*ckes with the left.

Today, a friend directed me to a job posting. She works at the organization (actually, she beat me out for the job she has now...) and says "Dan, you are absolutely qualified, please apply." They want someone with experience managing a grocery store, hiring/firing employees and doing payroll, ordering supplies and working with suppliers, and doing all of the financial stuff involved in running a business. I do not know how to do any of those things.

But I am totally gonna apply and spin things real hard. This job would be really awesome-- managing a tiny corner-store grocery co-op in a distressed neighborhood. I would officially work for the local neighborhood association. I would manage the tiny co-cop, and also do food outreach stuff in the neighborhood.

Now we are getting to the part of the discussion where still no one else is chiming in, and this guy is pushing harder and harder on saying I am a huge fuck*ng bigot. This guy who I live with. I feel like I am going crazy. Maybe the Twilight Zone ending is that I have been a bigot all along, and my friends are silent because they agree with him.

[jaydub]

You're not a bigot Dan, but your friend certainly seems to be an asshole.

[theinevitable]

I think I would mind less, and maybe concede "OK that thing I said was not well thought-out" or something, if this was not the same guy who once said that poor people deal drugs because they are too stupid to do real jobs.

The thing I said that I am being excoriated for: "The German language sounds angry."
