Frustrated with myself
I have been working with computers for 40 years now and I still can’t type very well.
Yes, I get the right words where I want them to be but at a very slow two-finger pace and with a lot of corrections.
At school there were typing lessons on mechanical machines and if I had followed those lessons I might have become a better typist. But due to moves I attended three different schools in four years.
Each of those schools had lessons in different grades and I missed out on them. I came in too early or too late.
I’m not using this as an excuse; I could he gotten private lessons later on. And for decades there has been software that can help you to do a better job.
But I thought that by using a computer on a daily basis I would get better at it over time.
Wishful thinking on my part and it didn’t happen. I still use the keyboard like a beginner.
It gets worse though, lately I’m so slow and I’m making so many mistakes that I have become frustrated. I know I can’t blame the two sticky buttons on the keyboard, although it is annoying. Especially the backspace key is not working great and that seems to be the one I use the most.
I think I have another keyboard in the closet; I probably should give that one a try.
Maybe the recent problems are being caused by age, I like to think that is not the case.
I continue my struggle; I can’t shut down the computer indefinitely.
