And this was in 2003-ish - way before my first typewriter purchase.Duffy Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105074089216551597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-82113699798386886662011-04-08T10:35:47.342-04:002011-04-08T10:35:47.342-04:00Typing in the back seat of a VW bus is fun but it ...Typing in the back seat of a VW bus is fun but it does attract curious onlookers.

Give all those people on the bus (with their smartphones and ding dong ringtones and silly mobile conversations, "I'm on the bus...") something *fantastic* to gawk at.

It's not the machine that's the problem, it's the people popping in and peeking over to see what that weird noise is...<br /><br />My coworkers already know I'm weird this way, so they just think it's quaint when I bring in one of the Remingtons. How else can I fill out those triplicate requisition forms? I suppose I could use the IBM Wheelwriter in the copy room... but it's an electric.

Passats have a ton of leg room!<br /><br />Yeah, I haven't taken the typewriter "in" the office. I just leave it in the car and go out there for lunch.<br /><br />But, yeah, I wasn't laughing until I got out. When those child locks are engaged, there is no way to open the door from the inside, so I had to climb up to the front seats to get out. Not something my large-framed 35 year old body is used to doing!<br /><br />I told my wife at dinner and she had tears running down her cheeks from laughing so hard...deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-82513773474848088402011-04-07T21:24:57.843-04:002011-04-07T21:24:57.843-04:00I, sadly, can attest to the making sure the child ...I, sadly, can attest to the making sure the child locks are disengaged.
