Who Stole The Question Mark??



Do you ever begin to wonder about yourself?
I mean about your mental faculties.

Do you ever say "I think I've lost it?"

More and more, I find myself doing some of the strangest things!

My eye vision is not so great but most of the time I'm functional. (believe it or not) Artificial light doesn't help in many cases, so... often, I do many things without turning on a light. Computer work is one of the things that I do well, without house lights because of the brightness of the monitor.

When I checked e-mail this morning, (very early, as usual) I was replying to a message I had received. I typed a question and.....all of a sudden.....I had forgotten where the ? key was located. I clicked and deleted, clicked and deleted, and thought..."The ? key disappeared during the night! Who stole the ? key???"

I wish I had a picture of myself of the next thing I did. Without hesitating, I had picked up the keyboard, turned my swivel chair around so that the light from the monitor hit the keyboard, and located the ? key!!

When I realized what I was doing, sitting here with my back to the computer monitor, holding the keyboard to the light, my thought was...

"If only my friends could see me now!!"

queenie: I've really never posted about the dumb things I do. Maybe it's a mistake to let the world know how weird I am!! This is what is called "impulse posting"!

Jackie said...

chikenherder: I'll bet that's what happened!! THE RAT BOY came in during the night. That's something he would do and think it was FUNNY....steal my question mark!!

I love the fact that you posted about your "stupidity". It makes me feel normal. I can't begin to tell you the crazy things I do....but mostly forgetting the simpliest things...like where is the ? key. hahaha

Tammie said...

Hilarious!!! If not age, then what excuse do I have?

Jackie said...

Oh, Tam! It's tough...really tough...what we go through, just to get by on a daily basis! It's a good thing we have our Great Protector watching over us!

Sounds normal to me - I get frustrated with myself at least once a week at work when I try to dial a number on my calculator. It just won't go through.

Jackie said...

tim: O.K....you've convinced me. I'm completely normal! Guess that issue is solved...LOL!!!

Queen of the Mayhem said...

I feel that way on a daily basis!

I blame it on childbirth and parenthood!

Jackie said...

Hey, Queen!! You young girls are making me feel better and better!!

How's Jr. Mayhem doing? I haven't checked in a few days to see what antics he's up to!

Glad to have you stop by!!

Tammie said...

Jackie said...
