IT support in some cube-hell tower.
Waiting for a program to install/update, grab a pencil and break the gunk and hair off the rollers.
Ball-mice were awesome for 180 turns in FPS games too, the mouse-flick was a quality move.
I used to hate optical mice, when they first came out, as they were nowhere as accurate for aiming in FPS games. At least for me.
I do sometimes wonder if there's a company somewhere keeping ball mice alive, and how well they perform today.
