Sir Type-A-Lot

7/02/2008

The other day one of our IT guys came over to fix our Interwebbernet problems. He sat down at my desk and saw my keyboard and says “Holy shit, you type a lot… that’s really cool”.

See for yourself:

Notice anything missing…?

… like, the LETTERS.

So, you can see I use a lot of vowels. When I look at my keyboard I can’t tell which letters are supposed to be where, but when I’m not looking I can type the letters out and know exactly where they are. Does that make sense? For example, looking down at my keyboard I can’t remember where “c” is verses where “v” is, but when I type I know exactly where they are.

I type 90wpm. I’m sure that has something to do with it.

Or maybe I just have greasy fingers.

Super Fat Tuesday: Progress, Please.

Never in my 25 years of life, and 7 years of voting ability have I been excited about a Presidential PRIMARY election. As my sister said, “This is more fun than voting for American Idol”. As it should be, my friends. It makes so much more of a difference when you have candidates that you can relate to. Of course, you should always be interested in the issues and blah blah blah, but it’s like when you fall in love. It’s the initial attraction that pulls you in, then you get to know the guts of it all.

So, it’s no secret who I voted for. Share in the comments if you like.

1. How many jobs have you had?

3. Have you ever been fired?
4. Right now – do you have a job or a career?
