Overall, I’m happy to be a lefty. It’s just that sometimes I feel like I have that many more annoyances during the day than my right-handed friends. Little things, is all, but then a snake bite is little, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
This comes to mind today because I have this coffee mug at work emblazoned with “Research King” in big black letters (won at a conference), but only on the right side of the mug (the right side when the mug is oriented with its handle towards me).

Everyone else sees a plain white mug, completely unaware of the extent of my greatness.<\/p>\n
I could carry the mug in my right hand, but I feel off balance when I do that. I’ve been silently taking out my frustration on the mug’s designer, but that’s a hollow satisfaction. I don’t drink that much coffee anyway.<\/p>\n
