I did not suspect that anything was wrong before he mentioned it, and I certainly didn't think that my typing skills needed any improvement. In his opinion, however, it was one thing I needed to look into. I took a typing speed test, and was surprised when I scored in the bottom quarter of the office staff. Apparently, my typing skills had declined quite a bit since I took typing training in high school. Reluctantly, I agreed to work on it. I assumed that the only way to improve my typing skills would be to take a class, and was not looking forward to it. I did not have a lot of free time as it was, and taking a typing skills class was about the last thing I wanted to do.
