Don't give up on me.

Hello my blog reading friends. Thank you for sticking by me through my quiet times. I have appreciated it.

Doe Snot

I work as an Internet representative and my typing skills are only mediocre. Isn't it ironic? Ususally there is one word that I misspell repeatedly. Most days it is "unfortunately" - which is unfortunate. More irony. Some days it is "inconvenient" - which is quite inconvenient.

Today it is not a particular word, but rather a space. I know what you're thinking. I know that the space bar is the largest key on the keyboard. Maybe that is the problem. My anxious thumbs, which are smaller than most, are constantly jumping for it. Perhaps it is because I use longer words, leaving longer spans of idle time for my smallest digits. In any case, I continually hit the space bar too early, resulting in misspelle dwords. This is the WORST, as it cannot be automatically corrected by spell check.

It is especially detrimental when the two halves of the poorly spaced phrase are real words. If you are not careful you may change the entire tone of a message the way that I did tonight when instead of typing "does not" I typed "doe snot" (as in a female deer with a sinus problem), and did not realize it until it was too late.

I wonder how many times I have done that?

Welcome

I hope to use this, my fourth blog, to recall and recount the many (mostly hilarious) moments in my life that I do not want to forget, and to share the humorous happenings of each day. While "Winter Tuesday" may seem a more appropriate title, given that I hate the heat of summer and have to work almost every Sunday, I chose "Summer Sunday" both because it is a lyric from a song by one of my favorite bands, and because some very funny things have happened to me on summer Sundays.

I'll tell you about them if you'll stick around awhile...
