Oh Yes, I Really AM that Good

I am a woman of many hidden talents, kids. While I may write at the junior high read-ability level, I'm on fire with my WPM!

Speed test


How did you get so speedy? you might ask. I chock it up to my days as a "Classified Ad-visor" at the local newspaper. Every weekday at five found me frantically entering as many call-in/faxed-in/mailed-in ads as I could before deadline hit. And, of course, all those lovely AH CRAP! Term paper. Due. Tomorrow. It's 11. Lab closes at midnight! moments I had in my college heyday. Those were nice...in a master-procrastinatorio kind of way.

And yes, if you look at the time stamp, it really is Friday night at precisely 10:14 pm. Am I out having fun? Oh noooo, I worked late and then came home for some quality Rookie-Pajama time and watched The Truman Show on TBS. That is, of course, until I strutted my stuff over to the computer for a little blogging action and the ever-important type test. I am the epitome of old, dorky school marm. I flaunt it.

We all have to have SOMETHING to brag about! ;) J/k I'm totally jealous. I'm at a slow 65 WPM...and I too was an classified advisor! Oh well. :)

by-the-way...bug was at school when we went to the dinosaur park...but it's all good because I am going with her on her class field trip there this week. :)

School Marm? Just the use of that term made you infinitely cooler. At least in my book.

But then I'm pretty dorky, so you know . . .

Well pin a rose on your nose. I only did 47, but then again you were looking over my shoulder putting the pressure on. Excuses Excuses huh?

really I am just slow.

As far as your Friday night activities, you are soo much cooler than you think.

But maybe I am partial?

Don't sweat it. If you want to veg in your pj'd that is cool because you can't go clubbing every night or you will soon look like break down Brittany.

And I suck at typing just so you know.

I type 28 words per minute, and I am darn proud of it. This is precisely why you will not see many words on my blog, it takes too much of my precious time.
