Heh. I'm reading a review of S2 of Being Human in the Guardian and apparently there's a little Buffy shout out.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I also learned to type back in '79 on a manual typewriter. I think I got up to 45 wpm. Now I can type faster, but my error rate has all gone to heck (thanks to computers).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My accuracy is kind of for crap, so typewriters (and temp agency typing tests) are still my nemeses. Hooray for auto-correct.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I used to continually try and learn shorthand--and fail miserably.
I'm not sure when I got to the point of being able to type usefully without looking at the keyboard--probably university. It wasn't that required for the programming I'd done up to then, because it was so damned slow. Even now I usually do still look at the screen--I'm not good enough to be able to spend all my time looking at the source of what I might be transcribing.
Problem with touch-typing is when people think they're upgrading keyboards. Half-size backspace key on this one, plus the insert/home/page up being a row lower is annoying. My sister's laptop has a numeric keypad. Confusifying.

Oh, once I had a temp job that involved editing documents in Word. My typing speed was slower than the other temps, but I more or less kept up because I knew and used a lot of Word and Windows keyboard shortcuts for editing.

I am sleepy and cranky and having annoying conversations, and I can't tell if they are just annoying because I'm cranky. Feh.

That is a cat on a pig.
I have a head ache.
I don't want to type anymore.

I am getting sicker as the day goes on. This does not bode well for my week.
