I'd like to thank the Mud

[Imoutgoodbye]

Now that the forums are back, I had a call to go in for an interview with the IRS.

They want to do a second round of interviews. I typed at 70 wpm with fourteen errors (they wanted 40 wpm over a 5 minute sample with three errors or less).

I must have made an impression somewhere during the interview process that they're calling me back for another look. I hope I get this.

EDIT: And I'm thanking the mud for my typing speed.

Good job and good luck. You're a good guy who deserves a break, and I hope you get it. Keep those errors down though.

...two years ago I applied for a city clerical typist job, they wanted 40wpm with errors simply deducting points from your wpm... I scored 115... they never called.

Bastards.

They obviously didn't want a nerd. The WPM typing speed is simply a way to filter them out.

In 9th grade(A lot of Mudding) I set a record in my typing class at 90 WPM with I think 4 errors? Though I will admit, I was typing the same three paragraphs the entire time so it almost came to a point of memorization.

And Valek: Good job man. Learn to handle that adrenaline in PK better and those errors will come down.

Hehe, nowadays I can type faster and more correct with my eyes closed rather than some people with them opened

I had a very similar occurance. Basically in my typing class we just did lessons at our own pace, and my teacher thought I had found a way to stop the clock in the program because I was ranging from 90 (actual sentences) to 120 (the ones where you type a series of letters over and over: Ad da ad ad ad da da da dad dad dad dad add add add) and he accused me of cheating, then when I had to show him I did all the lessons, he would not let me get the A because I used an odd 3 finger set up for typing (**** homerow) and when he brought up that I am typing wrong I said I am the fastest person to have ever typed on a computer at this high school he was not happy.
