Writing and more

Writing

I find writing relaxing, and a great way to get my thoughts in order. Not all my thoughts go into this Blog. Some thoughts stay in my head, and others go into my diary. I sometimes think that I could have been a journalist or an author in another life. There are times that I love writing, and others that I detest it. My main problem with writing is my typing speed, or more correctly my typeing accuracy.

I have been typing since I was at primary school, well before it was fashionable to be able to type. I knew it was an important skill back then. But what I find is that my typing speed is too slow for my thoughts. I would love to be able to keep up with my thoughts when typing. I would love to know how fast I can type. The last time I checked it was about 40 words a minute, and I am pretty sure that I have improved siginificantly in the last 10 years.

Telstra Bills

I have mentioned before about some of the bills I get thanks to the type of work that I do. One example of this is the photo below that is my monthly Telstra bill. This was for December, and the last page is labeled “Page 136 of 136”. That should give you an idea of the physical size of the bill. Right now it is on a pile that will be scanned as soon as I get my scanner back from Richard. The pile of bills to be scanned is about 3-4cm high.

This bill was only for about $300. Most of this was mobile data services which cost about one to five cents per connection. Thanks to the poor coverage in some areas, connections might only last a minute or so. Ideally they should last days or weeks.

Busy Work Day

I have written a To Do list for today. I hope to get at least 50% of the work on the list completed. We will just have to see how I go. You can never tell in this business how things will turn out. And I tend to go from rush job to rush job too. There are only seven things on the list at the moment. I would guess though that things will change as the day goes on…
