No excuse why not have a mouse. Things like that and a dual monitor are must have items even if I have to buy my own.

You'll get much faster if you learn how to use your trackpad. Best advice I was given was to unplug my mouse and pop off that F1 key. It's useless

No accessories! So much more efficient!

Depends on my mood. If I'm feeling ambitious - trackpad and shortcuts, when I'm over it - mouse slow and steady

We get wireless mice. I like them but some people prefer the compactness of a trackpad but I hate it.

Mouse all the way.

Trackpad.

Bluetooth mouse, free on Amazon by using my Well Being Rewards....thanks PwC

Trackpad are for the lazies. How the hell do u do audit work with a track pad

^I've seen people who know shortcuts and stuff go really fast using keyboard and trackpad...but I sure can't do it.

I bought my own wireless mouse for $19 @ Walmart and it is pretty fantastic.

I'll learn the shortcut but forget it by the next day

Was given a crappy wired mouse from firm, but eventually got a wireless one from Amazon and expensed. A Logitech mouse that comes in multiple colors; cute and cheap. If expense was rejected, I would have still paid for myself. So much easier than using trackpad, though I am pretty good at trackpad still.

My partner of 2 years wants me to move in next year. He asked if I did would my cat be coming with me (pic of him below). I said yes I didn't just buy him for lockdown he's with me for life. He then said he's allergic to the cat, cat can only stay part time. Cat is also not allowed in the bedroom and he's not allowed on the new sofa. It's really sounding like he doesn't want the cat there at all. Should I even bother continuing the conversation about moving in?
