arethinn: glowing green spiral (Default)
My right wrist is starting to hurt due to overmousing during the past week, so I'm trying to mouse with my left hand. It's not as much of a fiasco as it is if I try to write with my left hand, but it's still slow and clumsy. (I know from experience not to reverse the mouse buttons -- my brain attaches "left click" to the button, and not the finger that performs the click.) Any guesses on how long I would have to do it before the new neuron connections would form that would allow me to do it with the same dexterity I have with my right hand?

And if the species were predominantly left-handed, would I have worded that sentence as "...allow me to do it with the same sinisterness I have with my left hand"?


p.s. I used to go by "sinister dexter" on alt.gothic back in the late 1990s. Some people thought I was making a Dexter's Laboratory reference. (...."sinister"? ok, he's a mad scientist, but "sinister"?) Some also thought I was male, although with an implied name of "Dexter" and a lack of talking about specifically female subjects (like menstruation), I can see why.
