Why do I find it so impossible to see typos on the screen? As soon as I print something out the typos leap out at me with big flashing lights; shouting "Here I am! Here I am!".

Why am I incapable of typing the word "the"? It always initially comes out as "teh". I think the keys must be on an awkward place on the keyboard...

So there I was yesterday, purchasing a Dutch Hoe attachment thingy for my multi-garden tool...and what was next to it on the shelf but a Pushpull weeder. If I buy, does it mean Pushpull comes round and do the weeding for me? (I dunno, taught me all about how to use left and right thingies on my bicycle, comes round and tidies the onion patch, there's no end to his usefulness)

I have the same thing, I'm sure it is a problem with the printer... It seems to change some of the letters and miss out full stops etc. laugh.gif

Yes, my screen also quite likes teh.

Also places where people live are called twons. I can never work out why - I've never called them that!
Certain keyboard instruments are painos.

I bought a Wallace and Gromit Graphic Novel (cartoon book) today just because it had the word 'whippet' on the cover and I have three (live) whippets.



(It's called 'The Whippet Vanishes' if anyone's interested, and the whippet looks like one of the chickens from Chicken Run laugh.gif laugh.gif )

I thought it was just me. I quite like the word regrads now (actually it came out as regards when I first typed it just then biggrin.gif ). We need to come up with a meaning for it. Actually do a Google for it. I think you'll find lots of people make the same mistake.

Hmm... Shall I wear a black or white tank top tonight? I'm wearing a denim skirt (short), tan tights, and black dance shoes, and I need to look simultaneously casual, for during the show, and dressy for the aftershow party.
Any advice welcomed.

You ok?
Well it's a bit complicated, but basically what's happened is that a vehicle has striked a bridge near one of the stations, so the train I was meant to get into college has been cancelled. The train I hope to get now is currently 30 minutes late, but whether it goes past the station with the bridge problems is another matter. So now I'm stuck at home with no idea whether I'll be able to go into college or not today. Three other college students offered for me to go in a taxi with them but they could only fit three people in it, so I was left out. I could drive but I haven't got enough petrol and I originally planned to fill it up at the weekend, plus if I drive in, parking is going to be a problem. What it means is that I've now lost valuable time with Music Tech coursework and it's going to be hard to make up that time between now and next Friday when it's all got to be done...

I've just had to climb through a load of scaffolding to get out of the department. wacko.gif Security locked a door which was supposed to be left unlocked, and they therefore left me in an office at the top of a stairwell full of scaffolding with the access to the alternative stairs blocked by the locked door. ohmy.gif There was one very scary moment when the ladder above me moved as if it was about to fall...

"It is with regret that I feel I am unable to continue in my position as ....(your job).. and wish to tender my resignation with effect from ..."

is the sort of thing. If you want to pm me with a bit more detail I will happily pad it out a bit - but that's the gist of it.

sad.gif Sorry to hear that. Hope you were able to get there ok and/or get your coursework completed by next Friday.
Thanks! I wasn't able to go in the end, but I managed to get some work done this afternoon, and have managed to get both composition scores done today, so that's one major obstacle out of the way. Probably having the day off actually helped as I probably wouldn't have decided to come in and do some work this afternoon in the first place smile.gif

I don't know. Surely the mexicans are all dying because they don't have enough hospitals, but we do so we should be OK. I have a friend who has been sneezing all day. She told people to stay away from her because it might be this flu thing.
