Things that Irritate Me

Tweet

This keyboard. I don't know if my fingers shrank since I got this new computer a year ago, but it seems like my stretch isn't quite what it used to be and I'm not hitting my letters the way I should. Quite annoying, especially when I need to hit the same key several times to get what I want out of it. I'm thinking about getting a new keyboard, especially since the letters are now worn off the most used keys. I don't notice it so much, but when my son was here a few days ago to try once more to do his taxes, he couldn't find a letter. I had to tell him K was next to J. L is completely gone. In fact looking at the keyboard just now, most of the letters are gone. Good thing I don't hunt and peck or I would be lost too. Another thing that irritates me is spelling. I hate when words elude me and I just can't get them spelled right no matter what I do and need to resort to dictionary dot com. Then I find out I've been spelling it phonetically and that spelling is way off the mark. Why can't words just be spelled the way they sound? Another thing that irritates me is waiting. Any kind of waiting. I don't have much in the way of patience, so waiting for something is not easy for me to do. When I want to do something, I want to do it right then. If I have to wait on someone, I'm counting the minutes until they arrive - clock watching is a bad habit of mine. It's even worse when the time comes and goes and the person hasn't shown up. Boredom irritates me. When what I want to do irritates me instead of bringing about some kind of satisfaction, I find myself getting angry, and that leads to extreme boredom because nothing is interesting then and I don't know how to find the one thing that will put a spark back in my life. Right now I need a spark in my life. Yes, I'm bored and I'm irritated. I hope this doesn't last because I want some sense of satisfaction in what I'm doing. So between the frustration with the keyboard and my appalling spelling, and the boredom, I think I'm just going to find something else that hopefully will put a spark back in my life and give me a sense of satisfaction. You might not find my spelling appalling, but that's because I work at taming this keyboard into submission. Thanks for reading. I will return.
