Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
: I learned, as a child in an all-right-handed family, to set the table with the knife and spoon on the right and the fork on the left. Since I gave birth to a left-handed child, I have come to notice the many ways left-handed people must cope with right-handed products and systems, such as spiral notebooks and writing from left to right.
I have a co-worker who says, each and every time she returns from the office restroom, “Gee, I forgot my coat and gloves!” or “I forgot to bring my parka!” or some other inane comment referencing the temperature of the bathroom. Eventually your would-be comedian will get tired of explaining the “humor” to you -- and find another target.Even before the pandemic, I worked from my home office. Most of my meetings are online.
