Disappearing type

On the keyboard at my desk at work the labels of the keys are disappearing. At first it was just the 'C' key, but now 'V' is gone (oh no i can't apply for other jobs!) and substantial parts of the 'D', 'L', and ',' are endangered, along with left-'CTRL' and left-'ALT'.

The question is: where are they going?

Into my fingers?

I'd think my fingers were already saturated after thirty years of heavy typing.

Someday I'll need to write a macro to type my own initials.

>sigh< ... mondays...

Eew.

Eew. I've had the same thing happen to me. I've tried not to think about where the pain was going. Thanks a lot for bringing it up. :-)

I'm not into tattoos, but if I were ever going to get one, I'd have ASDF JKL; inked in reverse onto my fingertips...

Haw! That or "importthis",

Haw! That or "importthis", but that's a NameError...

I had the same problem...

...until I got a keyboard skin. I have the iSkin Protouch: http://www.iskin.com/protouch_overview.html but I notice that there are others in the market as well:
