Dead "Z"
Name; Joyce
So, I'm sitting here working all day long. Just working my fingers to the bone on a Zoning Report, ya know?
Getting lots and lots accomplished - just truckin' right along. Then, I break for coffee.
I come back into my office and sit down. I set my coffee cup on my desk ... and it tips.
Now, having ruined MANY a keyboard over the years to full cups of coffee - I immediately panic.
Unlike usual, I don't have spare keyboard in the house. Normally, I do - because I'm a klutz
and have all the grace of an elephant, ya know?
But this time! The coffee tipping gods were kind, as only a few drops fell onto the
keyboard and I immediately whisked them away, breathing a sigh of relief!
About 10 minutes later - I realize I'm not so lucky. The coffee did, in fact, affect
one key. Only one! I can live with one, right?
Except it affected the Z key. All of a sudden I NEED the Z, man! I need the Z, like I've never needed
the Z before in my life! I couldn't believe it. The ONE key that I really, really needed was toast.
I go whining into Brad's office. He says "No problem, baby - I'll send you a Z via YahooIM and
you can cut and paste it." Such common sense. And I didn't think of this ... why?
(cuz I'm a blonde.. yea, yea, yea)
I also found out that if I hold down the ALT key and hit 90 - it gives me a Z. Which
is what I've been having to do in order to type this very post. Funny thing? The small
case z works fine - I just can't capitalize it without ALT90.
Sounds like a case of 'the dog ate my homework', hey? Sad, but true.
