RE: New TECHWR-L Poll Question - Left or Right?

["Partridge, Robert" <Robert -dot- Partridge -at- au -dot- unisys -dot- com>]

Yes! But not for anything that mattered. It was 
one of those writing tests that an agency insisted I do 
before they'd add me to their books. Up until that point
I wasn't impressed with the agency so didn't really care about
the results. 

The task was to document the procedure for making a sandwich 
(filling of my choice). Since I wanted to highlight to 
them the futility of this kind of task I chose to document 
each step in excrutiating detail, first for right handers, 
then for left handers (I stated that I assumed the sandwich 
maker was approximately humanoid with opposible thumbs). 
My sandwich was of Scooby Doo proportions.

I never had feedback from them about that task, so I don't
know if it was even read. They periodically asked if I was
interested in positions that either did not fit my
requirements or were in places where I told them didn't want
to work. Maybe they were inept, maybe they were getting 
payback...

right-handed?
