I learned when I was like 7, my mom forced me one summer (thank you mom haha). She got me a special computer program to teach me how. I’m sure the equivalent exists now in online tutorials somewhere.

Didn’t get proficient until college. Helped a professor friend transcribe a book he was writing. He’d write it out long hand on legal notepads and read it out for me to type at the same time. Usually do a chapter per session and then he’d pay for breakfast or lunch after. Which was really helpful for the hangovers I’d be under while typing sometimes.

Yep, learned in middle school. I’m pretty sure it was a required class in 7th grade at my school.

Yes! I learned when I was in elementary school (born in '90). Took a year or so of practice in 5th grade where I was able to type 70wpm. In 7th grade we had a computer class and they put a cardboard box over the keyboard to force us not to look at the keys (that's one way to learn...). I loved typing games throughout middle school like the Mario Teaches Typing and online games like Typing Shark, ZType, etc. Now I type 140-ish wpm. You can definitely learn and get better!

I sorta hover my fingers over the “correct keys” (took a typing and a coding class in elementary school) but I don’t ever look at the keyboard. I type really quickly but I think that’s just from the AIM days.

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
