I'm thankful my father was so insistent on teaching me to type properly. At the time I was super annoyed at him putting a cardboard cutout over the keyboard so I couldn't see keys. But touch typing has been a boon ever since, I doubt dad was prepping me for typing quickly mid-game but it sure is nice!

My dad was similar. Guess thats a good thing looking back. I'm going to teach my kid pivot tables so they can rule the world.
