"I'm shocked to discover gambling is going on in this establishment!" "Your winnings, Sir."

Heh. I moused over your link and saw something about baseball, and knew what story you were linking to.

Oh man -- my coworker, who is going on maternity leave next month, just had a candidate reject her job offer. After waiting weeks for HR to call the references. Man!

The typing class was on IBM Selectric typewriters, which pretty much spoiled me for every single keyboard I've used since then.

Bliss. Oh bliss.

An older friend made me swear to him I would take typing so I wouldn't have to suffer like he did in college.

My mom wouldn't let me take typing in high school (I believe the phrase "over my dead body" was uttered), due to some amorphous feminist principles. This has led, over the years, to my developing rapid 2-finger typing.

My Mother refused to learn to type in High School. She was the only girl on the student council and they thought she should take care of the minutes. It was like the fish thing. She didn't have a problem when I wanted to because of the whole "its a different time" thing. Which always made sense to me.

I can't remember ever having learned touch typing in school, which is odd because from 7th grade on there was always at least one computer-related class, and we definitely had Mavis Beacon typing tests. But I have no idea when or where I learned concepts like "home keys."

Pretty sure those are in the Mavis Beacon exercises or tutorials or whatever they call them.

What do you do when you erroneously receive an email filled with personal details? Do you respond saying, dude, you've got the wrong email address? Or do you just delete it?

From a stranger? I replied with "you've got the wrong person". If it was someone I knew? Oh lordy, depends on the details I guess.

Cashmere, that's what I said on Twitter. Only I said, "here are your HRs, sir." GMTA!

I just saw that, java. Ha!

In case you ever wanted to live in a pod thingie, now's your chance: Egg Shape Mobile Living Space – Blob VB3

After 18 months, the mobile living space – blob VB3 is finally finished. This unit is build by architectural firm dmvA for the office of xfactoragencies. The blob is mainly made by polyester, and holds all necessary items one could possibly need as bathroom, kitchen, lighting, sleeping space and several niches for storage. Moreover, the nose can be opened automatically and functions as a porch. While being closed, it blends into a complete smooth blob.

I don't (currently) have shirtless.provocateuse.com, you know. But I do see a nice hands pic there I might grab when I get home...

OMg, for a day I spent the whole thing in meetings, such a clusterfuck.
