If pointing at something is complicated then you have bigger worries than which side of your body is dominant

The staff at my firm just found out they are not getting paid until next Tuesday. Ordinarily, checks would be passed out Thursday (and direct deposit on Friday). This leaves everyone without money for the long holiday weekend.
In 10 years of working here, they have never once missed a payday. I'm sure they have their reasons (year end income and accounting stuff, apparently), but this is a seriously ROTTEN thing to do to us. Some notice, so alternate plans could be made, would have been nice.

That sucks, Cloud. When my ex-employer did that on two separate occasions, individuals in management were told to make personal loans of a few hundred dollars to any employee who needed it for groceries or whatever, until the paperwork got sorted out.

I tried the eye pointing thing today. Turns out, I'm left-eyed. However, I'm right-handed. A study in contradictions, I am.
Cloud, that's a bunch of sux. I think Bruce nailed it. That action violates decency, but since you work in a law firm, probably no laws. I've been in the public sector so long I forget what private companies do to make the books. Business, it is above my head.

The thing is everyone knows which hand is dominant!
It is a dumb test made up by people with extra federal research grant money to spend. |

left/right.
lefties tend to spin/turn clockwise and righties counterclockwise/antclockwise.

When people walk into a store, they turn right. Stores plan for this.

yebbut that's convention, not left/right thing. It's the other way in the UK -where they drive on the other side of the road.

Really? Seems like wherever I shop, people walk into a store and stop dead in front of me to have a conversation.
