Morning!

betrothed123

How are you all doing today?

I just had a meeting with the luddite form hell.  He wanted to "teach" me how to use Excel.  I decided to humor him.  He sat down next to me, I walked him through how to export a file form our database into Excel, and start showing him how to edit the document when he says "This is why I use Excel.  I know it.  Bring this into Excel so I can tell you what to do."

Of course I respond "This is Excel, and I can take it from here."

Then he says "No, you don't know how to do it.  I didn't realize this was Excel, but now that I know this is what you do." :-x

One more day until the weekend... one more day.

MarriedInAFever

Good morning!

You should punch that dude in the face, B. I actually kinda suck at Excel. True story.

betrothed123

At least you'll admit it, MILF.  Every day I have to show this guy how to save a file in his user folder yet he still thinks he's the greatest computer genius to ever walk the earth.

maratea

Wow, his response was... nutsack punch worthy? 

I'm dreading the weekend. I was talking to MIL last night- at SIL's wedding rehearsal dinner, there's going to be 70 people. WTF? And 80 people at the Sunday morning 'brunch.'

MarriedInAFever

Ughhh, people like that drive me batty. They happen to be God's gift to EVERYTHING. I can definitely admit my faults.

betrothed123

That doesn't sound like fun, Mara

The best part, MILF?  He writes it down every day when I teach him how to do it yet the next day there he is in my cubicle doorway asking how to save a stupid &%(*#@% file

MarriedInAFever

That's just embarrassing, B.

Is it just me, or do after wedding brunches sound terrible? I'm getting the hell OUT of here! Course I just checked the weather, and it looks like rain.

betrothed123

Boo for rain!

Good Morning, Ladies!  Post & run - we're doing a volunteer work day re-seeding a burn site in the national forest.  I love it when I get paid to spend the day outside.
Have a great day everyone!

I have someone at my office who is similar.  He'll say that he "doesn't know everything" about the subject, but then proceed to enlighen us with his way of approaching it.  He has the attitude that if anyone disagrees with his way, they are obviously uninformed.

Another fun office personality is the one that comes by every few hours to inform you of some news update, followed by a lengthy point of view on the subject heavily dosed in his/her political views.  Yesterday it was that everyone should be tested before they vote because "stupid people" shouldn't have the right.

Morning!  B, is this the same guy that's always been a pain in the ass?

I spent the first 15 minutes at work cleaning up after my coworkers.... that was fun.  It's really a shame people can't, you know, wash out coffee pots. Or throw their trash in the trash can (instead of on the floor rightnext to the can.)

raynes

Boo for rain!

I'm a bit of an Excel genius.  True story.  I mean, there's a ton of stuff I don't know how to do, but the stuff I do know, man, I rock it.  *toot* (<-- that's my horn, I'm tooting it).

Les, that sounds like a great day!

I've got a nutso headache today.  I believe the rain will have started here already, which is what's causing my headache, I think.

I also feel rather scatter brained today.

These are 2 separate people in your office?  Lucky biitch.  For me they are combined into one massive crazy conservative emailing douchewad.  I made the mistake of telling him I was fiscally conservative and now he thinks I'm a hard righter (which he is.  Did I mention this is the same guy who ranted and raved when Obama was elected because "it's the beginning of the lizard people taking over"? Um.. yeah) who wants to hear and share in his political views.

Steph- Nope, different person.

Anysunrise

Morning. I am sleeeeepy. And happy, because my Kindle shipped today.

MarriedInAFever

The beginning of the lizard people taking over. That rules.

Boo rain indeed.

That sounds fun, Les.

betrothed123

I know, MILF.  The frantic Google searches my coworker and I went on after that to prove his theory were hysterical as well.  Did you know Wikipedia supports his theory?

Yay for a kindle, Sun!

[Deleted User]

The lizard people? I haven't heard that one before.

I suck at Excel. At most, I can make a graph and alphabetize lists.

MILF--I may not be around tomorrow or Saturday (well, definitely not Saturday) depending on when I get on the road, so I wanted to say good luck and have a great time at your wedding! And don't worry about the weather, our forecast called for thunderstorms all day and we had nothing but blue skies. Here's hoping for a sunny day!

Morning all! I think I've realized how I'm going to wake up every day that I live in this new place. It seems that my downstairs neighbor (we live in a duplex) leaves for work out the back door every morning, and unlocks his car, which makes a "boop boop" noise, right below my window. When I'm here alone and asleep, one part of me is always listening for FI coming home, since he works the night shift, but this guy leaves almost an hour before FI gets home. Yet for the past three mornings, without fail, I've woken up with a start thinking I heard FI, but actually it was just my neighbor. Le sigh.

So I'm here in my bathrobe in my new office, watching the gray day and waiting for FI, and feeling rather cozy actually. I hope it motivates me to do some more unpacking.

betrothed123

That's no fun, Sarah.  I have a neighbor that revs his motorcycle engine 4-5 times at 5:30 every morning.  I cannot wait until he has to put it away for the winter.

What's funny is that I don't even fault the guy. He's not being particularly loud or anything. It's just that whenever I go to sleep and FI is not here, some part of me is always listening for him to come back, and that's definitely not my neighbor's fault.

Maybe I should just think of this as an alarm clock. :)

MarriedInAFever

Thanks a lot, Se! The rainy, rainy forecast is actually for the HM! Should be clear on Saturday. I appreciate the well wishes.

B, I thought you were kidding. Now I'm reading about the lizard people. This is one of the BEST conspiracy theories ever. Love it.

allisong23

My boss is such a computer idiot. Actually, he is an idiot across the board, but he truly exels at being a computer idiot.

FOUR times he has called me into his office because he can't find the Escape key. You know, the first one on your keyboard? Well, he has been unable to find it four times. I can't remember the last time I actually used the Escape key. Most programs/applications you just close out witth a mouse click. So what the hell was he doing?

[QUOTE]Good Morning everyone! In Response to Re: Morning! : B- My old neighbor used to do this at around 7am...on saturdays. <strong>Aside from revving his engine several times he'd drive back and forth up his long driveway about 12 times.</strong>  So yeah, I would be seething.
Posted by Shaye526[/QUOTE]
Yeah my neighbor does this too, only switch out "long driveway" with "apartment complex parking lot."

Good Morning, I would really like for one of you Excel wizards to jump into my computer for a moment.  I usually can hold my own with Excel, but today it's kicking my ass.  I'm trying print out a test plan on 36X48 in paper and it's centering my huge plan into a tiny little block in the middle.  I've tried every setting I can think of and it's not working.  The sad thing is, I do this every 8 weeks and have never had a problem.  I've even gone back and looked at the settings on old ones.  I'm stumped so now I think I'll go read about the lizards.

Happy Thursday!

I am here and stuck in this place until 5:15 for our open house. I hate staying so that 5 out of 30 parents will show up AND we don't get paid to stay. Sucks, but gotta do what I gotta do.

One good thing is I got a Dunkaccino this morning!! Yummy! It's coffee and hot chocolate together. And I normally don't even like coffee. Hopefully, I get the boost I need.

aprovencher21

I pink puffy heart B.

I'm tired of classes and I still have two more to go today.  I am such an idiot that I got hit on by a guy at school and I was so out of it that I didn't realize what was going on for a long time.

Don't feel bad. I never notice unless it's super obvious. FI insisted that this one guy I used to talk to had a crush on me, and I was convinced he was being silly, until 3 months later, said guy professes his desire to see me naked.

Yeah, I still haven't lived that one down />.>

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I am pissed off.  I think I've been pissed off every morning this week.

I overslept.  There was some douche parked in front of my garage in our parking lot.  I hit every single red light on the way to work AND waited for a train.  Then, when I got to the parking ramp, it was full.  I thought I'd just check to see if there were any open spots and I guess God decided to throw me a bone - because I got the very last spot in the entire ramp.

Friday?  Please?

He was talking about getting together for dinner and some drinks.  I thought he meant to do school work.  He was like nope just to get together.....errrrr.

Men can be sneaky.  The guy actually told you he wanted to see you naked?

Sneaky indeed. Does he know you're engaged? I'm assuming yes, which makes him look slimy in my eyes.

An old friend of my mom's just proclaimed his love for her on FB. It's awkward. He must have been drunk, but he's acting like it never even happened.

I don't know.  I'm wearing my ring but this guy has never talked to me before.  He might not have seen the ring. 

Ew thats weird about your mom's old friend.  I like to believe my mother never dated anyone before my dad.  I know thats immature but I don't care.
