Feb. 3rd, 2011 03:18 pmToday, my boss told me that I have nice handwriting. I am pleased all out of proportion by that.
See, I was told all through my school life that my handwriting was ugly and sub-par. Handwriting was the only thing I ever got poor grades in during elementary school. I had both teachers and other students make fun of me for it. To this day, I don't like writing things by hand if anyone else is going to see them - I'm still embarrassed about it. I've gotten to the point where I'm somewhat okay with my printed hand, but I still think that my cursive looks clumsy and awkward and horrible and I type absolutely everything if I have to give it to someone else.
This is literally the first time anyone has said anything nice about my handwriting at all. I think I will put it in my mental "Best Compliments" file.
