rena_librarianAs I sit here, filling out a .PDF job application online, preparing to print off a copy, I suddenly remember my father telling me that I should learn to type on a typewriter, not hte computer, because the one thing I would never be able to do on a computer is fill out a form.
That being said, I was given an electric typewriter and a typing course from the 60's, got really enthusiastic for literally one day, then returned to hunting-and-pecking, trying to write stories on the computer, and now type faster than most people I know. The electric typewriter is collecting dust somewhere in my parent's house, or possibly it was sold without my knowledge. Or maybe my mom is using it. I don't really know. (I'm 98% that the typing books are still in the basement.)
But lol.
