with the new ergonomic keyboard at work, i am discovering that i type many letters with the improper hand. it's slowing down my 90+ wpm pace, but i'm actually enjoying the challenge, as these days i find myself in the office more and need more things to keep me busy anyway.

note to self: switch hands for the letters y and b.

as i've been taking the bus to work every morning, i'm starting to recognize a lot of the bus drivers who have the 8:26am 23 monterey route. my favorite is this jolly black lady who is very friendly and likes to sing as she drives. she's also starting to remember me, and this morning she not only handed me a transfer that will last the whole day (she's saving me $1.25!), but she also gave me her business card and asked if she could come visit the zoo with her grandson sometime. i'm always relieved to see her pull up at the bus stop in the morning, because some of the other drivers are rather sour and it's amazing how much a friendly face will brighten your day.
