I *cannot* engage my brain with my fingers to type today. Nothing simple like featherynscale's s/o/p problem. In my case, it apparently means that my fingers start typing words nearly unrelated to what my brain sent out, but possibly starting with the same letter.

'connection' instead of 'compassion'. 'heavy' instead of 'heart', that sort of thing... and of course spell-check doesn't catch these 'blenders', I mean 'blunders', so it should be a fun day at work today, since I'm writing up documentation for our office procedures.

I do that all the time - it's like the typing is on autopilot, and not connected to any conscious process at all. The other, related issue to this that I suffer from is sort of false-completion problem, where I will type the right word, and then continue to type... compassion might become compassionate, or conscious become consciously... The other thing is that my brain runs about three words ahead of my fingers, so when I think I'm going to type "the other thing is" I sometimes type "the othing is"... In short, my typing sucks :)

Hope your day is relatively typo-free, or at least that none of the typos you make will be of the "pubic inquiry" variety.

Apparently on Friday, Virgin Jenkins came to pick up block party barricades.

As he is a 19-year-old boy who was born VirgiL Jenkins, this is doubly-unfortunate.
