That makes total sense to me.
I will say our school still isn't that up on left handed though. When my son was in kindergarten, assessments were given on tablets, and his scores were 99 percentile. I taught him to mouse left handed at home, because he is left handed, so seemed to make sense to me. The first part of first grade was a mess, he had like 4 substitute teachers before the finally got a real teacher and we could get any communication. Well, the first assessment first week of school he got <1 percentile. He literally answered 1 question. No one took it seriously as it was clearly not right, but it took like 2 months before I was able to get a meeting. Anyway, I asked if they knew what happened and they had no clue. So I asked what was different on the assessments from the prior yeah, and they told me just computers instead of tablets. So I asked if they changed it to a left handed mouse config, and they were all "oh they can move it, it isn't tied down" But who changes the button config? Do you expect 6 year olds to go into windows settings and change the button config? Blank looks from them all. Um, You know index finger versus middle finger buttons? Cue four educational professionals, including the principal and the computer lab facilitator moving their mouse to their left hand and suddenly realizing I am correct and the buttons are now wrong. This was 4 years ago. Left and right clicks have existed since Windows 95, and in 2019, the concept that left handed people might mouse left hand had never even occurred to them. Well, now I know what happened on the first assessment, he moved his mouse left, likely said it didn't work, they grabbed with their right, clicked the first question, said it did, he found it still didn't, so didn't take the test. Though by this point it was 2 months, and he learned to mouse right hand at school and said he no longer had a preference and didn't need it changed.

I am hoping this is just a Bumblefuck Florida fail though, because I can't believe in today's world, most schools don't understand basic left handedness.

I bet it’s more than just bumble fuck FL. I think such a small percentage of the population is left handed that people don’t even think about it
 
It was good enough. I didn’t do anything. I mean, I definitely used staying home with the dog as my reason, but I wouldn’t have gone anywhere anyway. Which I feel bad about but also, meh?
We didn’t do anything really either. I planted out some pots and hung with the dogs. I’ll take the big one to the dog park later and am thinking of a beach walk but that’s it.

Wow… that is an interesting thought. I always mouse with my left hand, but never switch the buttons, it never even crossed my mind. I can use my right hand, I just don’t like it so I always move the mouse to the left. However, some mice are physically shaped for the right hand - and I hate them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kind of like some guys dicks? 😂
 
At some point i would love to see you in your red dress! I hope your head feels better 🫂
The pain killers should start to work after a while. Not yet, the bus trip was a pain (the driver drove really fast so it was uncomfortable in that sense too). Just got shoes and jacket off, and I really don't fancy doing anything, but I of course must...

I'll try to take a pic some day. Right mow this dress is really going to laundry, though! All sweaty 😂
