Why Do They Fight?

July 25, 2008

I have two children. One boy who will be 15 in a week or two, and another boy who just turned 7. I thought that because they are eight years apart in age, they would have nothing to fight about. Boy was I wrong. It was good at first, I had two only children. Not anymore, They fight so bad I cant stand having them in the same room together. What the hell do they have to fight about? Apparently EVERYTHING!! They are worse than a bunch of girls.

Make it stop!!!!!!

Typing Sucks!

July 17, 2008

I was told a month or two ago that a job would be coming open where I work and I was encouraged to apply. I found out that one of the job requirements was to be able to type 45wpm. I tested myself and found that I was able to type about 12wpm. I immediately decided that I could not do it. I decided to not apply but everyone kept telling me I could do it. Finally the job came open and I immediately panicked. Myself and 100 other applicants applied. I got an interview. They decided that out of 100 people I was the most qualified and wanted to hire me. So, it has been a month since I started practicing and to no ones surprise I improved…a lot. I went in for the typing test and failed miserably. I typed as high as 28wpm. That is a great improvement over 12wpm where I was. So needless to say they have to settle for someone less qualified. If typing is not important in this job, why is it a requirement? The system sucks! It is OK because I will be able to get a different job and not be there to do the work for the new ‘typest’.

Question for the world: Do I continue to improve my typing skills by maybe taking a class, or do I settle for jobs that do not have typing requirements?
