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.

Apparently, when cats rule the world they will ride around on pigs....

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 Jesse.

Shit I did not say: To Mac's therapist regarding getting evaluation appts "Yes, I know this will take a long time, stop telling me to be patient. I do not fucking feel like being patient!"

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

I just gave my (former) minion a barely-cryptic pep talk, so that made me feel a little better.

I bailed and came home to work.

Now I've moved on to thinking about drinking. Would rum be good in Lemon Zinger tea? I feel like it should be.
