The Typewriter

Taking a course of being a secretary Typewriter on the table is ready My hands are aching to hit the letters Speed depends on the movements of my fingers A basic instrument of communication You have to familiarize with the hands-on Busy hands needs to type as many words It’s like having a competition with swords Manual way of making documents for you and for me You have to be sure to type the words and letters correctly Bond papers, liquid erasers, and a heavy type writer The complete set to accomplish the mission as typist Typewriters will be remembered as the years go by Modern computers will not beat its quality even if I buy April 25, 2013 For Craig's Contest "The Typewriter" Note: I worked as a secretary in an insurance company before and I used typewriter for making documents, letters, etc. and missed using it for a long time...

I took typing in high school and was pretty lousy at it...it did help when I got a computer tho, and you are right...nothing like the feel and smell of a typewriter...Good luck in the contest - Tim

oh how cool. I worked for a year as a secretary too but was more of a receptionist for him. For a Farmer's Insurance guy. He never had me type much. One time I asked him what my real job was since I did so little for him and he said, "I like having charming and attractive people as my receptionists. I wonder if I would still qualify for his job today. haha. Those were the days!!!

Good morning Maria, I had 2 typewriters 2 years ago. now they sit in a storage. I like the fact that you will always value the typewriter. Good luck in Craig's contest.xox...PD

Well done and looks great for the contest. I loved typing class back in high school...typing was like running the hurdles in a track meet.
