ugh &#8212; that his keys were sticking. \u00a0Typing on his keyboard was kind of like running in quicksand and he didn&#8217;t notice it until one of the keys stuck and gave him the error message.\u00a0 The sticking itself should have been an error message but he had to wait until one flashed on the screen for him &#8211; a relatively minor 2 x 4.\u00a0 And what&#8217;s of course relevant is that the sticking keys and sludgy keyboard simply reflected a lot of things going on in his life right now, stuff he needs to take the time to get to the root of and clean up once and for all.<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/dominos-build-up-of-ash-in-keyboard-sticks-the-shift-key-reflects-his-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Domino&#8217;s build up of ash in keyboard sticks the shift key, reflects his life&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/dominos-build-up-of-ash-in-keyboard-sticks-the-shift-key-reflects-his-life\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/dominos-build-up-of-ash-in-keyboard-sticks-the-shift-key-reflects-his-life\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/dominos-build-up-of-ash-in-keyboard-sticks-the-shift-key-reflects-his-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Domino&#8217;s%20build%20up%20of%20ash%20in%20keyboard%20sticks%20the%20shift%20key,%20reflects%20his%20life&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/dominos-build-up-of-ash-in-keyboard-sticks-the-shift-key-reflects-his-life\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I was at Domino&#8216;s home\u00a0and his keyboard had the sticky keys activated which mean he left his shift button down for more than 8 seconds before touching another key.\u00a0 What happened was it was stuck and he was afraid to try to unstick it himself.\u00a0 I told him I pop my keys off all [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7676"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19855,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7676\/revisions\/19855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
