This is my very first blog and I'm finding it very difficult to get started. First of all I'm a rather crappy typist. I still need to look at my fingers ! ( I can still remember my parents climbing all over me to improve my typing skills and me saying " why? It's not like I'm gonna need em. Like I want to be a typist when I grow up.) Well first of all....who grew up? And well look at us all now....we're all typists. And the kids that are at the age I was when I said it, are typing in their sleep and while driving !! OMG!!!!
So I guess this would lead me into my first rant............... What makes anyone think they can read, comprehend, and compose while driving? Hell, most of the general population can't manage to do even one of those tasks well, let alone attempt two or more in unison. ( If this last sentence is in the least bit confusing to you....stop reading my blog now. I assure you it will only get worse)
I remember when the " joke" was about women drivers and how stupid and reckless they were because they insisted on putting their lipstick on in the rear view mirror. Now look how "far" we've come. We have happy hour drunks texting the address to the next "business meeting" location while driving a company leased vehicle. Oh come on people....you know this is true. Why do we think we can do this? Are we really so self confident that we think we can be accomplished drivers and typists simultaneously? The way I see it, it's far more important to get where I'm going in one piece without endangering anyone than it is to let someone know....well....anything. They can just wait a F****ing minute or two or three..... and so for that matter can I. This my friends, coming from one of the more impatient people on this or any other planet. If you must communicate while driving, get a headset and learn to use your voice command on your phone. They all have one now. And if your excuse is that your voice cannot be recognized....You need to learn to speak clearer.
Does everyone text? Did I miss the memo? I've been told by two different prospective employers that they "texted " me "the information" ( mind you as I type this, the work "texted" comes up as being misspelled or being grammatically incorrect. I've a feeling it's both) anyway, I did not receive said "information" due to the fact that I'M UNEMPLOYED, therefore broke and unable to pay for the higher priced cellular phone package that would enable me to receive texts! This is getting very irritating people!!!! "We're living in a land of illusion" So true Mr. Collins........So true.
