Re: Typing books wanted
Posted by Laughing Julie A in PA on 4/24/08
LOL back!!! Oh man!---When I wrote this request I was fuming because I was denied books and I at least had the ability to teach keyboarding with the old books from the past, until now. I still used them for examples of report setup, tables, letters, etc. because our computer budget is nill, etc. I never thought how my request must have seemed--and totally missed your joke!!!!!! I have a really good sense of humor (don't all computer teachers!!) and have enjoyed the joke played on me. It made me calm down and enjoy the day! Thanks so much also for your suggestions. Had a good laugh, Julie A in PA BTW--the Dinosaur Museum was a nice place to visit anyway! Not much of a gift shop, though!!!!!!! On 4/21/08, Steve wrote: > OMG! I'm so sorry.
