Why can I not touch type?

I have been working in an office for about 8 years, using computers, I even went and did a basic office course which had a section on 'touch typing' but I can still not do it.
I have worked 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, for about 8 years, minus a few weeks for holidays and the over time cancels out the time when I was hung over and did nothing...so in total I have worked about 122,880 hours and I reckon most of them have been sitting at a desk, at least 3/4 of them so that makes 92,160 hours at a keyboard typing.
Why can I not touch type yet??
I can type rather fast, and I use all my fingers not just the index ones but I cant even spell my own name correct with out looking at the keys.
When is it going to kick in, the magical touch typing skill.
The thing that also grates me is if I accidentally hit the caps lock button. Because I am looking down to see what I am doing, I can type a whole paragraph then look up to discover it is all in freaking capitals!!

Luggage

I remember a long time ago when luggage was just a suitcase that you packed, zipped up and carried with you, no big deal.
But these days everyone has a suitcase on wheels, fair dues, they can get heavy and carrying heavy stuff is a bit 1994.
But people seriously people in London need to learn how to use a suitcase on wheels.
There are over 7 million people in this city and when you come across a douche bag with a suitcase on wheels, who has no idea and is stopping and starting and getting in my way, it makes me want to push them in front of a bus.
So its not bad enough that there are issues with the basic walking down the street, it also is an issue on the tube.
There are the gates that you have to go through, they work on a sensor, once you swipe you ticket, the gates open and you pass through and then they close
Easy enough.
Not apparently
Everyday I have to watch these morons with their suitcase trying to pull them though after the gates have closed or push them through before the go through themselves, then the gates close on them and they get stuck, come on people, it is not that hard.

And whilst I am at it, what is the problem with people who have their bag on the seat and when you ask them to move they look at you like your asking for their first born. I really don't think your bag needs a seat, I have just worked 10 hours and I want to sit down. Here is a novel idea...put your bag on your lap or on the floor, it is peak hour and really you lucky if I don't throw your stuff on the floor if you 'tfft' at me again.
People get on my nerves.

I am well famous

Went to a club for a friends birthday last weekend, I was looking through the photos on the clubs web site and look what I found, a lovely picture of a balloon.
And guess whose hand that is...mine!
Yep, with my lovely coral nail polish and my massive ring and my bangles on...I am so proud.

Being a Rock Star must be hard work.


I guess after a while you would get used to it and just deal with the fans and I am sure you sometmes wish that you could just have a normal day, but its not really possible.
So was at lunch today, and these 3 guys walk in and this one guy I thought looked a bit familiar, and interesting....they sit 2 tables down and we carry on with the lunch nad I hear him speak and he is an Americano, then it clicks.
It is the bassist from Metallica.
So what did me and my friends do, well we had to take photos, so we took some pictures of each other, then one of them suggested to take a photo of jsut me...with him in the backgourd. Now I am sure this has never been done before and I think the result is quite good, its artist yet true to life.
You know those rock stars, always smaller in real life..
