I've always been a little obsessed with my handwriting - ever since I learned cursive in grade school - do they teach that anymore?<br /><br />A year ago, when I was sans job, I found an ad for a position on Craig's List asking: do you have beautiful penmanship? Do you have excellent customer service skills? I like, YEEEEESSSS. It ended up being for an engraving/customer servive position at the jewelry company Janine Payer!<br /><br />I went for an interview and sure enough, they liked my handwriting! Part of the interview involved engraving little baby words (Emily Dickinson and Rumi poems, for example) on small pieces of jewelry. The operation was very intense - I wore ear muffs for the noise, used an electric engraver, and had a cushion for my elbow!<br /><br />I nailed it the first day, but come day 2 of the interview process I panicked - and my hand wouldn't stop shaking!!! Needless to say, I didn't get the job!<br /><br />All in all, it was a fun experience. I'll never forget my two days as an engraver...<br /><br />xoMeganMegan Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520307813991565047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-34543784712949583942010-11-04T07:27:31.777-07:002010-11-04T07:27:31.777-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Megan Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520307813991565047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-18248773777955151962010-11-04T06:47:19.671-07:002010-11-04T06:47:19.671-07:00Dear Lisa
I simply love the idea of being able to ...Dear Lisa<br />I simply love the idea of being able to create your own handwritten font for emails, et al. My husband had this idea soooo many years ago. Of course it got filed in the "Here's Another Great Idea We'll Never Act Upon" file! Then a couple of years ago I did find a program, much like this one,and again,like you, was hyperventilating with excitement. Alas, it would not accept my penmanship for whatever reason. I tried, in the words of Mr. Gun to "Make it work" all day- no luck. You have prompted me to try it once again. Perhaps my penmanship has improved, or the program will just feel more kindly towards me now. We shall see!<br /><br />PS. with regard to getting the small case letters to join up, I thought about tracing a continuous whisper thin pencil line across each box and writing every letter so that it begins and then trails out of the box on that line, and then erasing the line before scanning.<br /> A little constrictive but worth a try!<br /><br /><br /><br />Best,<br />S.P.Slim Paleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278593197402665506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-70196696919924498252010-11-04T02:37:27.163-07:002010-11-04T02:37:27.163-07:00That is so cool!!
