I'm right handed, but I use a left hand mouse. People try to grab it with their right hands but get completely lost when the buttons don't do what they want. Secretly, hidden among all the clutter on my desk, is another mouse they can use if I show them.

I would have sworn your quote was from W.C. Fields -- but whatever. I have therapy putty; squishy stuff I knead in my hand while I'm thinking or reading. Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

All of my professional work, for the last twenty-odd years, has been in the MS stack. Over the course of those years there have been plenty of death marches, or overtime working, from home. So, I'm forced to us MS... in a VBox VM running on linux. Granted, I'm using Ubuntu (and I've upgraded every six months to the latest flavor), but I started way back when RedHat was still a hobby, before it went all enterprise-ey. Eventually, I switched to Ubuntu because I had neither the time, nor the mental capacity, to keep track of all the configuration files and settings of RedHat. I must admit, however, that Visual Studio Code, and .NET CORE, look awfully interesting from a linux perspective. The summit of Mt. Everest is composed of marine limestone.
