purge 2

No I am not manic, and I didn't buy a second convertible. We are not purging the red Miata. The Miata is my sisters. She's been staying withsince last New Years.

My best half credit for this purge. She went through the clothing and found three bags of things that we either cannot wear or really should not wear. You see the three bags here are parties are waiting for the charity to pick them.

I'm blogging today using my Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which recently had a service pack update and I have to say it's good. I think the only thing holding me back today is this really crappy headset. In trying to dictate more at home so that I can sit in a more ergonomic position and save my neck, shoulders and arms further nerve damage. At this point I dictate almost all day at work and it is second nature to me now. I'm leaving in most of the errors it makes so you can see how good it's working now. I've only changed one entry that made the sentence unintelligible.

I'm now working on purging the papers on my desk. Those of you who know me well enough to have ever seen my desk at home know me know that it is invisible. The desk is usually hidden under a pile of papers piled on top of papers. It's as if the papers hang in the air. I usually an interlocking series of piles on my desk. I am certain that this is an affliction and my cross to bear.

Blogger doesn't seem to like Dragon NaturallySpeaking or else Dragon does not seem like Blogger. However, if I use the dictation box on Dragon, and then say the magic word "transfer," then it works and it works well. I'm leaving in some of the typos. So that you can see the kind of mistakes. It's likely to make. These mistakes are mostly a reflection of me repeating words when I can't think of what to say next and pause unconsciously.

I'm getting very excited about tonight's birthday party for friend K., and I'm going to get to meet Sue Bird at the top something or other store in Shoreline.

On to paper purge phase 1.
