Today I ........

I should add that the down arrow isn't stuck or anything - it works as usual in a spreadsheet, it's just stopped working to scroll down in a browser window (whereas the up arrow still works there).
My brother who works in IT had a look and he's never seen it before.

I do have a very clever cat. He sent a message to one of my facebook contacts once - a whole screen full of one letter.

Try number lock or scroll lock. Holy shizzzz that is too funny tho, sad for you, but funny us:roflmao: :watching:

Do you have a Scroll Lock button? Or try Shift + F14 ?

Or:

For Windows 10
  1. If your keyboard does not have a Scroll Lock key, on your computer, click Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard.
  2. Click the On Screen Keyboard button to turn it on.
  3. When the on-screen keyboard appears on your screen, click the ScrLk button.

Oh snaps & oooppss, i just gave the same advice after you did :dead::roflmao:
 
Today I can't help but feel like I'm my own worst enemy... That no matter how much I work on certain flaws that I have there are certain things that will always be a problem for me.

Thanks. While what’s happened has been a blow I’ll continue to work on it. I’ll try my best to explain what happened…

I work in a call centre and at the begging of the year I was given an opportunity to join my divisions coaching team. I was very excited as I’d always been interested in teaching and helping with development. Due to a decrease in numbers nationwide in our call centres the division I’m a part of is being rolled back in to a division that already had a coaching team and as a result I was not asked to be a part of that team.

In the meeting where I was told my communication skills were not consistent enough for coaching. Let’s just say my ability to rub people the wrong way, and perceived arrogance isn’t unique to just the forums. This isn’t the first time my communication skills have been an issue and I don’t anticipate it being the last. That said I don’t understand why this continues to be an issue for me and whether or not there is something else at play. Not that I’m looking for an excuse but just to understand. I definitely feel that I view the world slightly different than others do.

I’d also like to say that the conversation wasn’t entirely negative and we did talk about my strengths and how we can work together in a positive way moving forward. It was essentially a not right now but let’s see where things go from here type of conversation. I have some PTSD from a past employer and they way they handled this type of thing so I’m very grateful my current employer values development/learning/improvement more than they do discipline.

Today I lost my mum. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at 10am this morning. She was 91. Thankfully I had just been back to the UK and saw her last month.

Oh Feb...I'm so very sorry. I couldn't stop thinking about you last night and what you might be going through. I lost my Mum at 91 too and just because they lived to a ripe old age it doesn't make it any easier. My love and thoughts are with you, dear friend. Hugs.gif

I found when I worked in call centre you could get a weird reputation that could be very hard to shake. I was known for "shouting at customers" for having one bad week where I had three deaf customers that kept saying "speak up dear I can't hear you" - so I had to talk increasingly louder, and then my voice carried across the call centre. as a result I had to undertake professional development in commmunication and being assertive rather than aggressive.

for what its worth I think if you have worked in a call centre as long as you have you must have far more patience and people skills than a lot of people I know.

I hope it gets easier
 
Hang in there Kingston. There are people who appreciate you for who you are and your honesty.
Being aware of what you feel are short comings is half the battle over.
Better to be aware than not.
And what you think are short comings other might see as good traits .
Double edged sword, so be yourself, and think positively 🥰
 
Minor annoyance in the scheme of First World Problems, but nonetheless...
Every time Windows updates, it seems to add some annoying little feature that makes things slightly more difficult rather than better.
This time, you can no longer right click and delete a file. Now you have to scroll down to a 'show more options' tab to get to the delete button.
Sure, it only takes a couple of seconds more, but often I'm going through 100 or more files and deleting after I've checked them, and it does make it more of a hindrance.
