What do I do about a glove if I am ambidextrous?

I grew up left-handed, but for ahem “cultural reasons” I was forced to become right handed. When I started to play billiards I quickly realized I am comfortable shooting both right and left handed, though I lean toward left-handed shots. When available, I use powder for a smoother follow-through, but that availability is by no means universal at pool halls. What do I do about a glove if I am ambidextrous?

What was your first childhood train toy? This one was mine:

I recently found the equivalent of my first childhood train toy on a Polish auction site. Mine was green and with black wheels, but basically the same as in the picture. What was yours?

I can cook and bake, so I always "bring it" to a potluck. Baked goods, roasted vegetables - everything I bring is always put together with fresh ingredients and made with love. That said, since the new year, we've had like four of these things in my workplace and it's starting to get really annoying. First, there's the realization that my workplace is too cheap to spring for catering, so, hey, let's have employees bring shit in, made on their own dime, on their own time. Second is the fact that the potlucks are always organized mid-week. I get home from work and have to run to the supermarket to get ingredients and then devote my evening to making the dish itself. Then there's the co-workers who basically phone it in. You bring a nice dish; they bring in some store-bought slop that, most of the time, no one even touches: store-bought cookies, prepackaged potato salad, some other shit you can't even identify. The worst part is that there's no real way of avoiding a workplace potluck without tacitly making yourself look like not a "team player." Workplace potlucks are starting to feel like a giant grift and other than calling in sick, there's really no way to avoid them in my workplace. The intent may be to "bring everyone at work together" but for me, it's something I'm really starting to resent.

What are your thoughts?
