Gnarly Work Thingie

[tmcg]

In the midst of the gnarly work thingie, I came across my favorite typo of recent days (slightly emended to protect the source):

"You'll go quakers over this rubber duck."


I'm also reminded, yet again, of how much I detest Word. There's a perfectly good Tools dropdown menu, and in order to alphabetically sort a simple list of words within the text I have to go to the dropdown menu for TABLE??? The text isn't in a table.

It was late, I was fatigued, I really didn't want to have to navigate through help screens to find out how to do a very straightforward word-processing task, and this is not the first time I've come to loggerheads with this software. I said some very bad things about every developer who ever worked on Microsoft Word. And about their fish. And about their forebears. And about everyone who looks like them.

I'm sorry about cursing out the fish.

Arrrgh! It's an obvious program that was made for writers but made by people who never write. It's so not intuitive.

You'll go quakers over this rubber duck.

Tee-hee!
