I got a D in typing in high school (84) because I wasn't interested in IBM selectrics or my well intentioned, excellent and arthritic I might add, teacher. BUT... a few years later, very interested in computers I decied to buy "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" for the Mac and it turns out that I was actually paying attention in high school and I touch type very well now. I feel sorry for the execs I work with now who a)can't spell and b)can't type.
Computing is a frustrating experience for them and for me it's been wonderful. I think a large part of love or hate of computers and operating systems comes from accurate (or the lack thereof) data entry.
I had a similar situation where I was handing off responsibility to a new manager who was (as it turned out) doing fuck all but online gambling and checking out golf websites. It was a real ethical dilema as to whether I should go over his head and narc him out.
Eventually myself and one of my coworkers discussed it with our VP. He rightly pointed out that it was OK to have "noticed" the activity but not OK to have kept a running tally of all websites visited. Touche' I thought. I did put a fair amount of time into proving my replacement was a gonad. All the while not working. There's got to be a better way to fook this kind of person.
