80wpm is pretty fast, but at what cost of accuracy? besides, wpm is no indication of productivity or how skilled you are at using a word processor. i'm a graphic designer and i've never had to put how fast i can type on a resume. its just a number stating "yes i learned to type"

Found a job as a Production Graphic Artist, but it fell through! Corporate office decided to but the job on hold indefinitely. Oh well, I found a job @ a local plant (< 6 miles) that I worked at before, start that monday... running a machine that cuts out metal shelves w/ a laser.

when you were using the forklift, did they have to show you a safety video featuring Klaus? ^_^

Temp lady sent message from my new employer - "be prepared to work a lot of hours right from the start" - so... hopefully will keep the speed, probably leave the For Sale signs in the windows for a couple of weeks... AND my wife is going today to see bout getting a pt job @ UGA... so that should help (she grads in June, so full time then...)

heck, maybe i can actually start back down the modd'n trail... single runner manifold... upgraded SMIC... blah blah

... and i'm gonna start pressuri'n my father-in-law some more about redoing the '92, figured if i just start tak'n it apart, that should get him going haha.
