Do you remember "Minesweeper"?
It's that game that used to be installed on old computers where you advance while avoiding landmines.

One day, when I went to get supplies from the cabinet behind Shiina-san.
I heard an unusually fast mouse-clicking sound coming from behind me...
Even though I knew I shouldn't look, I couldn't help but peek at the screen, and I almost let out a sound.
Shiina-san was playing Minesweeper at super speed.
Honestly, there were times when I wondered, "What kind of work does this person actually do...?" but for Shiina-san, who was nearly 70 at the time, operating accounting software and payroll software might have been quite a high hurdle.
