Keyboarding A Cloud To Valhalla Or Heaven or Wherever


Well, my computer was down for a while there because the keyboard died. Shantoozy spilt coffee on it! Admitedly, it was my cup of (cold) coffee that I had left precariously close to it but I am an human being and so of course it cannot possibly be my fault and must be someone else’s. I don’t know about the other type but the lesson learnt here is to never spill liquid on a Mackintosh keyboard. Shantoozy took it apart to try to fix it and, my, it’s all complicated looking in there, what with its silicon pathways or whatever. Well, a replacement keyboard was purchased yesterday and thus here I am again, what-ho!

Actually, I am pretty good at admitting my own fault, or even possible fault. This is a trait we all should possess but unfortunately few do. Because of this, I sometimes come across as weak in debates or arguments, I fear. This can be frustrating for me.

I am also pretty good at admitting which qualities I possess that are pretty good.

It’s pretty good, actually. Go on, give it a go!

I'd rather not spill cold coffee on my keyboard... I don't drink coffee to begin with. ;)

I understand on the debates&arguments thing. I can completely see things from someone else's point of view, and that just kills it for me.

DN: We need to attain a fine balance between empathy and letting the other person know we still disagree with them!

N1F: I designed the pickie but you shot it, so you ought to like it, ya ratbag!
