O Microsoft, thou art a den of cheap extruded-plastic vipers.

Dear Microsoft:

After version after version after version of Office, why in the blistering FUCK can't you program your 'case' applet to overlook insignificant words? Why does your so-called 'title case' produce 'A Day In The Life Of A Useless Coder'?

Also re Office: If I have two Word documents open and hit ALT-F4 while looking at one, the current document closes but Word stays open because another document is open. If I have two Excel documents open and hit ALT-F4 while looking at one, Excel quits. What's up with that?
Do YOU have a pet peeve that has driven you crazy for years about Microsoft Office, or Windows, or other Microsoft product? Do tell!

Gourdian Life

It was an interesting weekend. Friday night I left the office and headed straight to the Warner Theater, in whose box office I coted the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] furmuslbulk and his BF, buying tickets for Sunday night's performance of Avenue Q. Rush tickets for Friday's performance were to be sold as of 6 p.m., so at 5:40 I took my place in a line of three (which quickly expanded). Bottom line: after shelling out $80 for a 19th row seat the night before, suddenly I had a third-row (orchestra right) aisle seat for a grand total of $30, no service charges or 'convenience' fees. Pow.( too friggin' verbose, as usual )
