doodlemaier. . . truly are realized in conversation.
Mad props to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kafrin67 for the conversation we had last night wherein I admitted that I can't type (I can hunt'n peck like a mother fucker, but no touch type). "Why not?", says she, "it's so simple!"
A long story short: Just never practiced, that's all. But the effect that this has had, which she doesn't even realize, is that I think I have a huge fear built up around going back to finish my education because I can't touch type! Thanks again, Kid, for leading me to this conclusion and leaving me there to figure it out on my own, rather than handing it to me.
Now, this begs the eternal question: What am I going to do about this?

Date: 2005-12-06 03:39 am (UTC)Little tip that I found helpful (and I type pretty damn fast), it to just learn one finger range at a time. For example, the index finger home keys are j and f, and they reach to ... oh hell, that's what I get for typing with a buzz. Diarrhea of the fingers.
By the way, I'm learning a new program for work. I can't remember (rasp bomb) what the hell it means, but it's called GUI (gooey). Anyway, this will be a great opportunity for me because they'll use me to train other employees. I'm looking forward to that, because it will keep me in "the powers that be" thoughts if a training position comes open. Oh, and a funny thing - Brian's wife's cube is right in front of his office, so she can see and hear everything he does. Bet he loves that!
