Gifts for Remote Coworkers - Mousepads for Professors
You teach, research, publish, advise, serve on committees, and somehow find time to have office hours no one attends.
Why This Works
Academic life is pressure from every direction. Publish or perish, student evaluations, committee work, and the myth of the easy professor life. These stickers get it.
You spend eight hours a day moving a mouse around in circles while your soul slowly leaves your body. The least you can do is have a mousepad that understands. These aren't just functional desk accessories - they're tiny billboards for your inner monologue. Every click is a little more satisfying when it's on something that gets it.
What You Get
- -Smooth fabric surface for precision clicking through pointless emails
- -Non-slip rubber base that stays put during rage-clicking
- -Stitched edges that won't fray like your patience
- -Machine washable because desk snacks happen
