Typewriters

[*Awful Llama*]

I do miss using a typewriter.  In one of my first jobs I would have to type up any one-off checks for employees that were receiving pay corrections.  Got to be pretty efficient at typing the checks and paystubs.  

I never did take a typing class.  In high school boys were not encouraged to enter the secretarial classes, though I'd be a much better typist today if I had taken a class.  And, hey nothing better for increasing your odds than being the only boy in a class full of girls.  

One thing I do not miss is having to change the ribbon and getting that red and black ink on your fingers.  You were a marked man for the rest of the day.
