Life Ain’t What It Used To Be

The other day I was filling out a form (yes, long hand!) and I made a mistake and had to fix it.  I had a ’senior moment’ when I found myself in a quandary of what to do.  My first  ‘ah-shucks’ reaction was to print out another form and start over.  Then my long term memory kicked in and I heard my voice say ”Wite Out.”  I looked in my desk drawer but to no avail.  I buzzed my assistant and asked if she had any and her response was more alarming…’white out…what’s that…oh yeah….I haven’t used that in years….hold on”.  She them sent out an IM to everyone that was online (I still haven’t figured out yet how to send an IM to a whole group) but no one had any.  I remember when we had correction tape in our typewriters and the sheets we used before Wite Out hit the market.  Now it’s as simple as using Spell/Grammer check, Cute & Paste, or simply hit the bakspace key.
