MacGyver Mouse Pad

Twelve hours of coding without a mouse pad, and my wrist had a painful callous. What would MacGyver do? Make a mouse pad!

    crack me up. Just organize your workflow and do most of the work in your head… then just press one key and you’re done.

    Anyway, I have this mouse pad with an extra bump on it… I’ve had it over 10 years. The bump is worn down. Sort of scary.

    I also had these really great–but old–headphones and I wraped foam around the earpieces (because the old foam disintegrated). Looked pretty goofy… but not half as bad as your pad.

    They didn’t have a mouse pad here, so I had to make do, bro!

    Yeah, it did hurt, but I just grit my teeth and yanked band-aid style. It was worth it; my wrist didn’t hurt anymore.
