I’ve been experience some majorly annoying technical difficulties with my keyboard this past week. I don’t know if it had just decided to give up the ghost or if I was typing too fast for it’s poor wireless self, but it was exhibiting some freakish behaviour since Monday.

Whenever I attempted to type more than a few sentences, it would start randomly capitalizing letters, stop displaying letters I had typed, mass produce the same letter over and over again, etc.

I was slowly losing my mind whenever I tried to draft an application cover letter, respond to email, or blog. What would normally only take a few minutes to type turned into a lengthy nightmare of backspacing, deleting, hen pecking (one finger typing) and a lot of cursing.

Despite my best intentions earlier in the week, I hadn’t managed to make it out to a store to buy a new keyboard. This morning all my worries are resolved. I have a nice shiney new keyboard (wired this time) on my desktop and aside from my fingers having to learn where they keys are on this one, I haven’t had to swear at it once today. It appears to be more interested in behaving normally and less interested in following it’s predecessor and acting as a conduit for demonic possession.

All those people waiting for emails from me can finally breathe a sign of relief. I may actually get around to them today. At least, I can’t use my keyboard issues as an excuse for not writing anymore…
