Instead of working in an office, I decided on a life of adventure and signed up with the Cdn Armed Forces as a teletype operator. Yup, more typing but on this big honking machine more like a key-punch operator. By the time our eqpt was updated to computer monitors, my speed had increased to over 80 wpm, errors included. *sigh*

So, there’s really no excuse for me not to write a couple thousand words of my wip per day because that’s only a couple hours worth. Well, once I’m on a roll and know what I’m going to write.

As a matter of fact, I’ve had my laptop for only 2.5 yrs but I’ve typed 5 ms’s on it and can’t one-finger if I tried because the letters are worn off the most commonly-used keys.

And yes, I collect old typewriters, too. I have a few of the old clunkers boxed in my quonset. No, I don’t know why I save them, but they’re a link with my past.
