I used to agree with you.

:cry:
You use your thumb on your command key ? What is a command key ?

I have an external keyboard. At the office. During lockdown.
Doesn't the hyper market sell keyboards? :P

I have an external plugged into my laptop as the keyboard has gone wonky. I cannot be without - so this was easier than sending it for repairs. I will have to one day though.

I'm worried about not having a job at the end of all of this. My department has been teetering on the brink of having to shut down after losing money and credibility by bungling two projects over the past two years. We have already had to shed most of the people in my part of the building. We were made to take two weeks forced leave last week. Will probably have to fill in another leave form near the end of that.

Loads of people could be losing their jobs thanks to this nasty little parasite.

It's a grim reality. Friends of mine here have been laid off because of the lock down. And Friends in SA are worried about losing their teaching jobs because the private schools are loosing all their pupils :(

Besides, it's not exactly hell if all the naughty people are together :wink:

What for? The fearsome and perpetually ravenous grue's teeth fall out after every meal. Within two minutes, it has grown a new set.

Yes and? Hell is synonymous with torture. I am just ensuring that it is.
