Hockey and Driving reviews completed, now it's off to work. How else would I be able to afford such expensive gear? I'm a project engineer that works in highway construction. My job entails a lot of communication though email, faxes and phone calls. Although I spend time on construction sites, this review is just at the office.
Computer:
Okay, using the mouse looked impossible with the glove. I was mildly suprised that with the glove on I could still mouse with the best of them. My mouse position had to be adjusted so that I didn't bang the board into other items, but for the most part the blocker keeps me working like Steve Passmore and still protects my hand while I scroll.
As for typing. Not possible. I'm an okay typer, but the lack of vision of the keyboard and the finger padding made hitting the correct keys darn near impossible. It's not like the Quebec Nordiques drafted Steve Passmore to type memos anyway. GRADE: D
Writing:
Part of my job involves writing. The Passmore blocker was fine gripping the pen. Although awkward, I could still write. The finger padding again was the problem. Even with the Passmore pinky mod, my writing wasn't the normal. Look at what Steve wrote... Even Passmore knows about the legend. GRADE: B+
(Viva la Moto!)
Phone:
The blocker allowed me to grab the receiver fine. I could hold the phone to my ear and get a little whiff of Passmore while dialing with my left hand. The Eagle blocker adds a little bit of professionalism to my phone ability and my time on the phone was reduced. I attribute this new efficiency to Steve Passmore and the fact that I didn't want to spend much time holding this glove next to my head. GRADE: A
Scissors:
The strap from the thumb to the sideboard made operation of scissors impossible. Cutting sucks anyway. We all know Steve Passmore dosen't need scissors. What are we in 3rd grade? GRADE: C
Stapler:
I could hold the stapler fine and staple at will. The sideboard and face made it a challenge to get papers into the stapler, but I managed. The classic stapler pound was improved with the glove. GRADE: B+
