I was taught typing when I was a messenger for an attorney’s firm when I was in high school. When we had down time I hung around the lawyer’s administration assistants and they were kind enough to show me how to touch type on the top of the line electric typewriters they had. It came in very handy in college and I even took a course for a few weeks to try to get better.

One of the cooks at a restaurant where I used to work hung a heavy bag right outside the back door. Thing used to get a serious workout from about half the staff.

I tried to get management to replace it when he went to work elsewhere, but they wouldn't, dammit.

So disillusioned....

Thank you for making my day (and your answer makes me respect her more, rather than feeling sorry for her. I love our dogs, but I'd kick them after taking Doocey's questions).

Translation of stupid question: "Has Biden learned anything about immigration since 2014, or does he think that taking our knees off the necks of children sends the wrong message?"

Translation of stupid follow-up question: "Does Biden care about what the Wall Street Journal says about his immigration policy?"

MAN. I can do this all day.

Translation of stupid question: "Would the White House like to telegraph responses to attacks that target the United States, or is he going to keep the attackers guessing like a common Donald Trump?"
