If I were wealthy I'd try having one commissioned. I'm sort of terrified that one day I'll be forced to use something else.

I tried many of the adjustable modern split keyboards that come in two halves (and are missing 10-key) but absolutely despise having half of my keyboard move around. The trend of keyboards cut in half doesn't make any sense to me. I never look at the thing and I expect every key to be exactly where I left it.

I love working for a small college that is truly dedicated to educating the next generation. I find it very rewarding to know that my tasks and goals at work are not driven by profits and there are no overpaid executives sitting at the top of my org. There are no shareholders to answer to.

Yes, I am well aware that colleges still have bottom lines, still have 'customers', and are often run similarly to many businesses. I regularly see faculty and staff giving their all to the students. I've been here long enough to see students graduate and begin to make their own positive impact on the world.

There's always a trade-off... In exchange for not 'working to make a rich guy richer' and an almost unheard of balance between work & life, I accept lower pay than I'd make elsewhere. Without hesitation I can say that every member of our IT team could easily make more money working in the private sector.

I rarely work over the 37.5 hours per week expected of me, minus a few hours on the half-day Fridays we get during most of the summer. No org is perfect, but after nearly 20 years at this institution I'm still growing, learning, feeling appreciated, finding new ways to contribute, and am happier than I've ever been.

I let my password manager fill the fields, then I manually delete and re-type the last character from each of the 3 fields.
