Working Environment

I just looked at him and thought, “Man, whatever they are paying you it’s not enough!”
I took my car to the gas station for oil change and a couple of days back it started making weird noises that the mechanic said it was due to the steering wheel oil. OK, that is a first, I didn’t know that the wheel needed oil and it was RED!!
The weather was humid and I couldn’t stand it, I was fidgeting restlessly, paying attention to the guy fearing he will faint in that creepy ceramic grave he’s into, looking up at my car. How would I go about pulling him out if something happens
Are you sure you want me to start the car?
Yes. Start it
Start it while you are under there, is this OK??
He took about 20 minutes to finish everything, poor guy he was soaking in his own sweat, he even took a moment to lay his head against the wall, I paid him and rushed home for a shower. Working in the open air is refreshing but NOT here in Kuwait. I stood for a couple of minutes and was about to take the hose and spray myself!!
Anyway seems my car is in better shape now, no noise and everything has been changed. Which reminds me, I think my brother forgot to change the car plates to the new numbering, he did the “tameen” but didn’t get the new numbering, we’ll see about that
In conclusion, having to work in a cool conditioned environment definitely has better leverage
IT Requirement

What I vision is contact lenses mouse. See my wrists are killing me from moving the mouse around all day. Sometimes it gets so painful I need to wear a muscle band
I’m a lefty who uses her right hand to navigate the mouse and if driving and feels like using one hand automatically right is utilized. So much pressure on the right hand
What is the alternative is to have a mouse as contact lenses that you can wear that doesn’t mean we eliminate the mouse, you can use that too. Just have a special button on the mouse when pressed, it will take the input from your eye movement to navigate the cursor and if you want to click on something, use the button on the mouse. Well this is just a prototype. See this way, you have two options, the traditional bulky mouse way or the swift eye movement, just switch between them. My hope for the future is to have the computer actually read my mind and does the job!
I know I can simply follow the proper procedure to ensure the safe use of a mouse. I think there is an appropriate mouse pad and how you hold the mouse and navigate, but I am not sure where to get all that. Yeah next time, I’ll rant about how my back is killing me from all the hunching and how the 1 cm away from screen is helping in the overall of my deteriorating health. Gotta check if I have complete health insurance!!
The Difference

What’s wrong with this picture?
If you live in Kuwait, you may notice it immediately
These are evacuating from New Orleans because of hurricane threat “Gustav”. The street is crowded and yet nobody seems to be using the emergency lanes!!
