I’m disgusted with my mouse at work. At home I have an optical mouse, which always works smoothly and perfectly on any surface. At work, however, I’m still using an old-fashioned mouse, and I don’t understand how I could have put up with these crappy input devices for as long as I did. It constantly sticks, it always needs to be cleaned, it only works on a perfectly flat surface, and it’s horribly inaccurate when I’m trying, for instance, to draw a straight line.

This afternoon I’m going to go buy myself a nice new optical mouse for work. Hopefully they will reimburse me for it since the point of it is to increase not only my morale, but also the quality of my graphical work.
