Since Htet Htet's laptop is still in Repair Limbo, she's been borrowing my computer to do her homework. To make things easier for herself she plugged in her optical mouse and "natural" keyboard into by machine's USB ports, and brought her ergonomic mousepad with her (you know, the kind with the gel-filled bar that takes up half the mouse's space).
Well, I can barely type on this friggin' keyboard due to the GIANT GAP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE KEYS and this gel-thing on the mousepad is actually making my wrist hurt. And to top it off, this crappy old office chair I have is more comfortable than the 38-degrees-of-freedom, lumbar-supporting chair I had at Brady.
What the heck is wrong with me that ergonomic stuff causes pain and annoyance instead of relieving it?
