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.
