learned it on the internet
May. 15th, 2022 10:45 amI was talking with my parents yesterday and we had a whole chat about repetitive stress and computer work, shoulder pain, back pain, etc -- all those things that apparently grown-ups talk about, haha.
Good news: I managed to get through the entire conversation without blurting out 'everything I just said I got from a Stargate Atlantis fanfic.' Real life kudos to me!
On the other hand, I wasn't able to suggest doing some things left-handed and still avoid laughing, so I didn't mention that little tidbit of wisdom.
(It was Advantage, by Resonant, a fic which really isn't about repetitive stress from computer work, but the line "Can't you do some of your touchpad work lefthanded?" has stuck with me since 2005 (?!?!?!), so it counts!)
